California Rejects Bill That Would Make Child Trafficking A Serious Felony
California Democrats have blocked a bill that would have made child s*x trafficking a serious felony in the state.
The Democrat-led Assembly Public Safety Committee voted on Tuesday not to advance Republican State Sen. Shannon Grove’s bill to make child s*x trafficking subject to the state’s ‘three strikes rule.’
Under that rule, a person convicted of at least three serious felonies is punished with a prison sentence between 25 years to life.

Democrats on the Public Safety Committee, though, had expressed concerns about the effectiveness of the ‘three strikes rule’ and longer sentences, which they said is ‘ineffective in preventing crime.’
In the end, the committee voted down the proposal even though two Republican members voted in favor of it and six Democrats abstained.
