Existing law establishes certain specific acts that constitute the crime of facilitating sex trafficking and sets forth the penalties imposed upon a person who is found guilty of facilitating sex trafficking. Such penalties vary depending on whether the victim is an adult or a child and, if the victim is a child, the age of the child. Existing law: (1) provides that if a person commits the crime of facilitating sex trafficking and the victim is less than 18 years of age, the crime is punishable as a category B felony; and (2) requires that the person be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 3 years and a maximum term of not more than 10 years. (NRS 201.301) This bill increases, from 10 to 20 years, the maximum term of imprisonment for such a person.
