OMG this is being spun so bad it’s silly!
The law got passed because KIDNAP VICTIMS who were being forced into sex slavery were being arrested and prosecuted for something they were FORCED to do!
The cops and the prosecutors refused to stop doing this so the legislature acted to stop it.
This doesn’t legalize child prostitution it stops the victimization of sex slaves by over zealous law enforcement who only care about how many “collars” they get as if it’s a stupid game!
Thank you for pointing this out. It is part of an even bigger human trafficking problem, with organized crime involvement.
Seems like being arrested would be the best thing for these underage sex traffic kids wouldn’t that at least get them into some type of home or help? Otherwise you just let it go and don’t arrest them, sorry MeganC that doesn’t make sense to me.
