Today in the Arizona State Senate’s Public Safety and Human Services Committee, Senate Bill 1423 relating to child prostitution was unanimously passed. The committee unanimously voted to take away the cowardly defense of “jons” who claim to have no way of knowing the age of a minor. The next hurdle is for the bill to be passed in the State House. We will know the committee it will be assigned to come this Friday. We will be prompt in posting the time and place of this next hearing. Let us all be fervent in our fight for the protection of our children. Together we will remove the duct tape from the mouths of the silenced and their cries for justice will forever be heard. Thank you to the members of the Senate Standing Committee Manny Alvarez, Leah Landrum Taylor, Al Melvin, Rebecca Rios, Jay Tibshraeny, Jim Waring, and chairman and champion Linda Gray. Please contact the members of the committee and thank them for their dedication and support. www.azsenate.gov
