California lawmakers in the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday blocked a measure that would have classified human trafficking of a minor as a serious felony under state law, an effort that attempted to keep repeat offenders behind bars and make them ineligible to be released from prison early.

The measure was halfway through the state's legislative process, having cleared the State Senate unanimously with broad, bipartisan support. None of the six Democrats on the Assembly Public Safety Committee were willing to cast a vote on the measure Tuesday. Republican Assemblymen Juan Alanis and Tom Lackey were the bill's only yes votes.

Following the vote, those in the audience could be heard yelling, "You're horrible!" and "You should be ashamed of yourselves!" to the committee members. Human trafficking victims embraced and sobbed in front of the dais.

Can anyone explain why in the world Democrats would be against harsher penalties for selling children into sex slavery?

I wonder why. . . .

It'll make their island retreats less exciting for starters.

And they wonder why Trump won.

It probably is. Duh. And this bill was just political grandstanding to do something different. Only a few brave Dems stood against the lie. (as usual)

Do they fear this could be used against cali, and its "the parent can take a kid and get them transitioned without the other parents okay"?

Like that guy from texas that had his kid taken to cali by the mother.

Unlike the U.S., where the Democrats want lighter sentences.

I mean, Newsom signed a bill that leaves it to a judge's discretion of requiring those convicted of sex with a minor above 14 to be required to register on the sex offender registry.

Oh, and that only applies to specifically 'vaginal sex'. So it's only giving that leeway to straight pedophiles for some reason.

Look at democrats upset that MS-13 and TDA are being deported, it's known that these folks are involved in a variety of crimes including human trafficking, and it's a fact that democrats get a variety of benefits for having the criminal elements in their state, so they wouldn't want to pass anything that would make people hesitant to do human trafficking.

I'd be horrified if that was my job as a judge.

Could you imagine you walk in each day and have to hear that stuff as your job?

often times there's other crap thrown in bills that get them turned down.

You act like the republicans don't commit any crimes and are perfect angels. And don't get kick backs from the triple k gang. All politicians lie cheat steal and do crimes.
