Million Kids Exploited - Latest in Sex Trafficking

California SB357 has been approved by California Senate and is in the Assembly Public Safety Committee and waiting for a vote. THIS BILL WILL LEGALIZE STREET PROSTITUTION IN CALIFORNIA.  Million Kids believes this to be a catastrophe if it passes.  Unlike other states that have legalized prostitution, this bill has few limitations on where and how the street commercial sex will take place.  Most important it appears to have few protections for the victims of sex trafficking.

At the same time,  California  Office of Law Administration has declared a state of emergency to invoke the early release of up to 76,000 prisoners of which 20,000 could be prisoners charged with sex offenses.  What about the people who testified against them?

Also some good news.  Dozens of women sued Pornhub for posting videos without their consent. These women were purportedly offered what appeared to be legitimate "clothed" modeling jobs and when they arrived at the studio they found out they would be doing porn shots.  They were allegedly threatened and coerced into meeting the terms of their contract with the false promise that the films would not be distributed publicly.  In the end, the films were distributed around the globe.
