Proposed legislation would target the demand for sex trafficking by cracking down on those who repeatedly patronize prostitutes. State Representative Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) says the days where prostitution is viewed as a victimless crime are long past.
“Often, people do not realize that the person being prostituted is a victim of human trafficking,” Kleefisch said.
The bill would toughen criminal penalties for frequent offenders, making the third conviction a felony.
