Governor Cuomo today announced a multi-prong effort to further protect children from sex trafficking, including legislation to strengthen prosecutors' ability to seek justice on behalf of child sex trafficking victims.

Frequently, the only way to do this is through the testimony of the child victims sought to be protected. The Governor's legislation would effectively remove this requirement, and give prosecutors the ability to seek proper justice for these victims without the need to put them through the trauma of appearing in court. the National Human Trafficking Hotline is 1-888-373-7888

Governor Cuomo today announced a multi-prong effort to further protect children from sex trafficking, including legislation to strengthen prosecutors' ability to seek justice on behalf of child sex trafficking victims.

Frequently, the only way to do this is through the testimony of the child victims sought to be protected. The Governor's legislation would effectively remove this requirement, and give prosecutors the ability to seek proper justice for these victims without the need to put them through the trauma of appearing in court. the National Human Trafficking Hotline is 1-888-373-7888
