Quinn signs sexual exploitation law
CHICAGO (AP) – Prosecutors say a new law gives them more tools to fight trafficking of children in the sex trade and offers better ways to help the victims.
Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said one of the most important changes is that prosecutors can now use wire taps in their investigations.
Quinn signed the law Friday.
The law also now gives children under 18 immunity from prosecution for prostitution. Alvarez says this will ensure officials treat children in the sex trade like the victims they are and get them help.
