On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee blocked a measure that would have increased the criminal punishment for child sex traffickers.
The amendment, which was introduced this month by Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R), would have lengthened the minimum sentencing for those who have been convicted of “trafficking children by force, fraud, or coercion” – raising the minimum punishment from 10-15 years to a minimum of 15-20 years, depending on the offense. The measure also would have increased the maximum penalties for the heinous crime by an additional 5 years.
Rep. Roy blasted his colleagues on the Judiciary Committee following their decision, noting that this situation “defies all belief.” Keep in mind, this legislation would not have affected the punishment for child porn or other evil offenses, it would have only strengthened the law in regards to child sex traffickers. How could anyone, who’s not an evil pedo-apologist sexual deviant, be against such a measure?
