Bill cracks down on websites that promote prostitution

Congressman Daniel Webster

Last week, the House passed with my support H.R. 1865, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner (MO-2). This bill targets bad-actor websites that have engaged in the promotion or facilitation of prostitution. This new law prevents these websites from escaping criminal and civil liability. Previously, these websites – technically called interactive computer services – were immune to civil challenges, even if there was evidence of facilitating sex trafficking. The bill also increases penalties for individuals who promote or facilitate prostitution of 5 or more individuals or act in a reckless disregard of conduct that contributes to child sex trafficking.
