Deal Signs Human Trafficking Bill
POSTED: 3:39 pm EDT May 3, 2011
ATLANTA — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has signed a bill designed to make it easier to prosecute human traffickers and keep them in prison longer.
The measure would increase minimum sentences for human traffickers from one year to 10 years behind bars. It tacks on fines of up to $100,000 for a conviction. If the victim is a minor, the trafficker would face no less than 25 years in prison.
It also says that a person cannot be found guilty of a sex crime if it took place while that person was a victim of trafficking.
Some Georgia religious groups objected to that, arguing it effectively legalized prostitution.
Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens has called the law “critical” to address a growing problem in the state.
