seems inconceivable that elected officials would signal Colorado as a friendly state for adults to have sex with children — which is always rape — who are sold by foreign cartels and domestic sociopathic profiteers. Yet, that’s what Democrats on the House State, Civic, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee — the “kill committee” — did last week.

Indeed, the U.S. State Department often ranks the United States among the top states for sex trafficking, placing us No. 1 in 2018. As sex crimes against children increase in Colorado, blame House Speaker Julie McCluskie and Majority Leader Monica Duran for sending House Bill 1092 to the kill committee.
Blame committee members Steven Woodrow, Andrew Boesenecker, Elisabeth Epps, Jenny Willford, Kyle Brown, and Naquetta Ricks, Jennifer Lea Parenti and Manny Rutinel for dismissing the bill. Thank Republican committee members Ken DeGraff, Scott Bottoms and Brandi Bradley for voting against adults raping children.

The bill would have required that adults convicted of sex with child prostitutes serve full sentences of four years for class 3 felony acts and eight years for class four felonies involving sex with child prostitutes.
It seems unconscionable anyone who pays to rape a child gets no more than four-to-eight-years. Without this bill, adults who buy or rent child prostitutes face penalties that often result in little or no incarceration.
As reported by The Gazette and Colorado Politics, 50-plus witnesses packed the committee’s hearing. All but three favored the bill. Many were survivors with heart-wrenching testimony about working as child sex slaves.
This did not faze committee Democrats, who killed the bill after two state public defenders — who hadn’t read it until the day before — asked them to. Radicalized Democrats have taken their criminal justice reform agenda so far they appear in favor of crime.
