What it does
This Act aligns the definition of child sex trafficking victim with the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000. Under the federal TVPA of 2000, any minor who engages in commercial sex is identified as a trafficking victim regardless of whether a trafficker or controlling third party (e.g. a pimp) is involved or identified. The requirement of a third party minimizes the role buyers play in fueling demand and engaging in the exploitation that trafficking laws are designed to punish and prevents minor victims from being identified as victims.
Where it goes next
Law in Delaware. Agencies now write the rules that carry it out, and courts can stay or strike it.
