JOIN THE MUNICIPAL TRAFFICKING SUPPRESSION INITIATIVE
THE PROBLEM
Combating trafficking by seeking to prosecute sex TRAFFICKERS is very difficult. Winning a court case consumes significant funding from tight budgets, takes many staff-hours under tight staffing, and requires the legal / law enforcement / community service teams to stay in contact with trafficking victims who must often be convinced again to testify when the case finally comes before the bench. Even then, attorney generals may choose not to take the case to trial and trial judges unfamiliar with the impact of trafficking on public safety may reduce the sentence.
A UNIQUE SOLUTION
Following the example of Houston TX, Denver CO, and Cook County IL, we are advocating for the adoption of simple municipal ordinances that suppress the demand for paid sex with heavy fines on sex BUYERS. The violation does not typically end up as a complicated court case with the buyer simply paying the fine and fulfilling required attendance of a sex trafficking awareness training. The fine provides funding for local law enforcement to conduct sting operations which may be carried out in the process of enforcing the ordinance.
