Shared Hope International has ranked Tennessee and Florida as the top states in combating sex trafficking, with Tennessee receiving an A grade and Florida receiving a B.
Both states have prioritized child protection under the leadership of their governors, Bill Lee and Ron DeSantis.
In contrast, the majority of U.S. states received failing grades, with only seven states receiving a C grade and nine states receiving a D.
“In addition to using the child sex trafficking law to prosecute buyers, law enforcement and prosecutors should also be able to investigate and charge a wide range of buyer conduct under state CSEC laws,” Shared Hope International stated.
“These laws must clearly apply to buyers by criminalizing the act or attempt to solicit, purchase, or patronize a minor for sex without requiring an additional and limiting actus reus.”
