San Francisco County Supervisor Hillary Ronen is proposing the legalization of prostitution as the crime spirals in California, according to cops and Republicans in the state.
. Many of the pimps are gang-affiliated and take no issue with beating women or going after rival pimps who try to poach one of the workers, they said. Some even record the beatdowns because they"think it’s funny," police said.
The Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking, which is one of the largest and oldest direct service providers for sex and labor trafficking survivors in the U.S., threw its support behind the bill and told Fox News Digital that it endorsed repealing the former policy"because we know that reducing the criminalization of survivors will help prevent human trafficking."
A legislative aide to Ronen argued previous state and federal laws only chased"the problem around," and that legalization would remedy the prostitution issues. "We have tried many laws. Federal laws. State laws," Santiago Lerma, Ronen’s legislative aide, said according to KRON 4."So, what we are hoping and trying to do is advocate for our state lawmakers to really address this issue and to legalize it.
"You still have people being shot over marijuana," McCray added."You still have businesses being robbed of their marijuana. It didn’t stop it just because they said we’re going to make it legal, and everything is going to be good. That did not happen."
