On December 28th, 2020 a ruling handed down from the California Supreme Court determined that if a human trafficker communicates with an undercover officer online in an attempt to prostitute (believing that the undercover officer is a minor) that the trafficker can face the maxiumum sentence allowed under the law (12 years under Proposition 35).

In addition to expressing the public’s demand for harsher penalties for child human trafficking, we hope it further deters those who consider engaging in this horrible practice. For more information read the official press release from Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer here:
