Democratic members of the California Assembly Committee on Public Safety blocked a bill on Tuesday that would have made child trafficking a "serious felony."

Under California law, serious felonies are subjected to the state's three-strikes laws. If the measure had passed, repeat offenders would have faced harsher penalties, including up to life in prison.

Currently, traffickers who target underage victims are eligible for early release credits based on behavior, which could take years off their sentencing.

Republican members Juan Alanis and Tom Lackey voted in support of Senate Bill 14 this week. All six Democratic members refused to vote on the measure, blocking its passage.

The Democrat party rules again!!

Yay

Ya, it's already a first degree felony retard. Again absolutely so full of shit it's ridiculous.

SB14 Update: Gov. Newsom steps in to help revive a stalled bill on child trafficking

It’s unusual for Newsom to publicly get involved in a dispute at the Capitol, especially when it involves the Republican Party.

www.abc10.com

California Gov. Gavin Newsom stepped in on Wednesday to help revive a bill in the state Legislature that would increase penalties for child trafficking in the state, siding with a Republican state senator over some members of his own party.
SB14, authored by Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove would make child trafficking a serious felony in California. Anyone convicted of at least three serious felonies in California is punished by a sentence of between 25 years and life in prison, known as the “three strikes law.”
The bill had easily passed the Democratic-controlled Senate earlier this year, and Grove expected it to have little opposition in the Assembly. On Tuesday, Democrats on the Assembly Public Safety Committee declined to advance the bill, putting it in danger of not passing this year.
Newsom said Wednesday he was surprised the bill had stalled. He said he called Grove to talk about the bill, telling reporters that the call “is indicative of my desire to see what we can do with it.” Newsom said he “cares deeply” about the issue, noting he signed a state budget last year that included $25 million for services for children who had been victims of sex trafficking.
“I want to understand exactly what happened yesterday (in the committee),” Newsom said. “I take it very seriously.”
It’s unusual for Newsom to publicly get involved in a dispute at the Capitol, especially when it involves the Republican Party. Newsom prefers to stay out of such matters, often declining to answer reporters’ questions about pending legislation.

Nice cherry picking.
The bill stalled because Democrats on the Public Safety Commission blocked the second vote.

Newsom, in the article states he is talking with the Democrats on the committee as to why they blocked it.

Fuck off you child sex obsessed sicko. Getting about fed up with you idiots poisoning every discussion with ludicrous accusations of people actually supporting child abuse just because they might have a differing opinion.

It's your party holding up this bill, Simp.

You are here defending it. Own your position for once.

Mandatory sentencing doesn't do a thing. I'm against such measures because they are political stunts more than anything else. I'm also wondering about the actual recidivism rate on this crime. Was this even a problem?

How Often Do Sex Offenders Reoffend?

 

[Nostra]

Yo..ignorant one...your lil post predates mine. Which is to say..your shit is out of date. This bill is alive and will pass.
Perhaps..and I know this is a stretch..you might read the article I posted..in lieu of jerking your knee mindlessly?

Looks like YOU are the one who needs to read what you post.

A meaningless quote on your part because you deliberately do not provide context.

Perhaps a fuller quote might bring clarity?

Matt Gaetz, still in Congress, but I guess that his transgressions are ok since he is a republican.
Where is the outrage??

You must be kidding, you are stating it is okay that Democrats are pedophiles because of Matt Gaetz?

Matt Gaetz is under investigation right now, so what in the hell are you talking about.

I don't see mandatory life in prison listed here, which is what they are trying to get it to.

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES?​

If convicted of PC 236.1 human trafficking, penalties will depend on the specific statute you violated – but it's always a felony crime.

If convicted of Penal Code 236.1(a), depriving anyone of their liberty with intent to obtain forced labor or services, you will be facing up to 12 years in a California state prison and a fine up to $500,000.

If convicted of Penal Code 236.1(b), depriving anyone of their liberty with intent to commit pimping, pandering, child pornography, or extortion, you will be facing up to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $500,000.

A conviction also means you will be required to register as a sex offender for life under Penal Code 290, California's Sex Offender Registration Act.

If convicted of Penal Code 236.1(c), persuading a minor to participate in commercial sex acts, you will be facing five, eight, or twelve years in state prison and a fine up to $500,000 – along with lifetime sex offender registration.

It should be noted there are other sentencing factors listed in CALCRIM 3184 Jury Instructions. If you used force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, or threats of injury to the minor, your penalties could be increased to 15 years to life in prison.

If you inflicted great bodily on the minor while committing a human trafficking crime, you will be facing an increased sentence of five, seven, or ten years in prison.

If you have a prior conviction for Penal Code 236.1 human trafficking, your sentence could be enhanced to an additional and consecutive five-year term in state prison for each violation.

Not sure how you think I have an obsession with child sex, perv.

And you support letting them back on the streets with your opposition to mandatory life sentences for child molesters. Own it.

Deal with it.

"Doesn't do a thing" except keep serious criminals in prison where they can't hurt anybody, except maybe prison folks. So you prefer having these dangerous people out in the streets ?

I heard one repeat offender who was arrested for child trafficking, got 2 days in jail. You want that ?

 

[Pete7469]

You would think that in a country where you would have been hung for horse theft just 150 years ago, that selling a child into sex slavery would get you stuffed down a cannon barrel and blasted into a rock wall.

I can only assume there was a kill pill somewhere in the bill? Who & why would they block it otherwise.

and they like to use the word "cult" to describe Republicans. Funny, huh ?

...nope....use the word 'Cult' to describe the Trumpanzees/Q-berts/alt-right fringe. Republicans come from all walks of life, just like Dems..and most are fine people..albeit somewhat on the wrong side of history, at the moment.

Fuck off you child sex obsessed sicko. Getting about fed up with you idiots poisoning every discussion with ludicrous accusations of people actually supporting child abuse just because they might have a differing opinion.

"Differing opinion" from WHAT ? Trying to stop child trafficking-abuse ? If your actions enhance child abuse, then yes, you are supporting it, which is exactly what the creeps in the California Assembly did.
