A California bill working its way through the legislature would make the crime of buying child sex a serious felony, replacing current statute in the far-left state that treats soliciting a minor for sex as a misdemeanor.
A bipartisan bill would raise solicitation of a minor from a misdemeanor to a felony punishable by up to four years in prison, and a fine of up to $25,000. The bill would also require a person convicted of soliciting a minor to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
The measure, introduced by Republican State Senator Shannon Grove in February and co-sponsored by two Democrats, is scheduled for a committee vote on Tuesday, but it faces an uphill battle for passage.
As of Thursday, the new bill did not have the votes to make it out of committee. Critics are concerned it could target minorities…
Is Canadafornicated a word?
Helen Taylor, vice president of impact at Exodus Cry argued that eliminating sex trafficking requires going after the demand and implementing proper deterrents.
“For this to currently be a misdemeanor, and frequently prosecuted as such, reveals an inadequate understanding of how serious of a crime sex trafficking is,” Taylor told The Daily Wire. [….]
“Our laws send a message about what behaviors we are willing to tolerate. Paying money to abuse a child is something we will not tolerate,” Taylor said. “It is surely a ‘no brainer’ to make buying a child for sex a felony in California and if not, we have a serious problem.”
They have a serious problem. And it will not go away with legislation.

Ok…show me you’re racist without telling me outright that you’re racist. Then show me that you care about perpetrators more than you do the victims of their crimes without telling me outright that that is the case.
Do so in one single sentence.
Stupid Liberal Tricks.
“If it saves just one life…”
“Think of the children…”
I believe it failed.
Newsom will next mandate a $20 an hour minimum wage for Coyotes.
“The bill would also require a person convicted of soliciting a minor to register as a sex offender for 10 years.”
Why only 10 years?
And no surprise that it doesn’t have the votes to get out of committee, it’s california, they have a whole industry based on exploitation.
“Critics are concerned it could target minorities… ”
hopefully perverts are a minority.
“Critics” don’t like their voting base going to jail. For anything.
800,000 kids go missing every year in North America. They’re going somewhere.
Pedophilia is the currency of the realm and it turns Elephants into Rhinos, if you catch my drift. I don’t think people understand how pervasive pedophilia really is.
“Neither Newsom nor Rivas responded to a request for comment on whether they would support Grove’s new bill targeting buyers.”
Of course not. God forbid you should lose the diddler vote.
THEY’RE JUST DOING THIS TO PUT TRANSGENDER DOCTORS AND ALLIES IN PRISON.
Oh wait…that’s Florida.
It may be a cultural thing, I’ve been reading stories for years on the Latin American stats, as I vaguely recall a LOT of Guatemalan girls have a first babies around age 16 mostly fathered by brothers, uncles, their fathers, the stats were shocking, a California area with lots of Guatemalan migrants would need mega prisons.
One of their State Senators is Scott Weiner. Pretty sure he’s pro Pedo.
Here’s an idea !! How about mandatory and immediate chemical castration !? How about PHYSICAL castration ?! If those options are good enough for our school teachers to implement on our pre-pubescent children without parental knowledge … then why not simply CASTRATE most ALL of the Hollywood business?
“Critics are concerned it could target minorities…”
Sorry, MLK, you lost. America is now a country where a person is judged by the color of their skin, not the content of their character.
Has anybody called out those concerned critics for their obviously racist beliefs? They are saying that POC are the ones more likely to solicit minors.
Sounds like hate speech to me.
