An incredible day that’s been years in the making.
Colorado Senate Bill 26-015 is now law and strengthens protections for kids against sexual exploitation.
It updates old-fashioned language by replacing “child prostitution” with “commercial sexual activity with a child,” because kids are victims, not criminals. The bill increases internet luring of a child to a Class 3 felony when it’s done to meet for sex acts. It also requires courts to impose mandatory minimum sentences—at least 4 years in prison for many of these serious offenses. And if someone is convicted of soliciting a child and gets probation, they must still serve 364 days in jail.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially From Silenced To Saved. Tougher penalties and clearer laws to better protect Colorado children. Great step forward! #copolitics

Jew hatred must be confronted as the serious threat it is, even when it hides behind the banner of “Free Palestine.” As Martin Luther King, Jr. aptly said, “in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence
of our friends.” https://t.co/JGfIzXRqeA
