Misleading headline, pimping and having sex with minors is still illegal.
The minors themselves can no longer be arrested, and I honestly ask, should they be? Aren’t most victims?
The California law would be changed to match the Texas law regarding minors. As you know, Texas isn’t a liberal state.
This article explains the Texas Supreme Court reasoning on Child Prostitution: https://www.texastribune.org/2010/06/18/texas-supreme-court-rules-on-child-prostitutes/
“Children are the victims, not the perpetrators, of child prostitution,” the Texas Supreme Court said today when it ruled that children under the age of consent can’t be charged with selling sex.”
Men who pay child prostitutes are committing a crime in California and Texas. No law changes regarding that.
“Aren’t most victims?”
Yes.
