Posted on: New law levies harsher child prostitution punishment

AB380 is certainly a step in the right direction, but those of us close to the issue know there will not be enough money from this legislation to support a comprehensive program.

Prostitution laws need to be enforced equally and that means the customer needs to be targeted across social lines-not just against Latinos.

American men who travel to Thailand to have sex with children face life in prison. Russians who travel to Las Vegas to have sex with children are called tourists.

The federal government is equally responsible for selective enforcement of prositution laws against the male customer. Eliot Spitzer should have been sentenced for the Mann Act and would have should he have been black.

Take a minute and look at Jeffrey Epstein in Miami, Florida who the federal government failed to prosecute. Many of us, civil lawyers and activists are now pursuing civil actions on behalf of the hundreds of young girls he ruined with his sexual antics.

I have put these issues to the Department of Justice and believe they are now listening.

Then you will have all the money you need to help these little girls and boys. Yes there are boy prostitutes who are not as much fun to help. You will of course include the young boys in your progams?

When an adult man travels to a foreign country to have sex with a child, if arrested, he spends the rest of his life in prison.

You must ask yourself why your own country won't help you enforce the Mann Act laws that at least put a man in jail for 10 years for crossing a state line for immoral purposes such as having sex with children.

If the children are victims then the men who have sex with them are criminals.
