The Nevada Legislature unanimously voted for a new law that allows prosecutors to freeze and seize the assets of anyone who commits certain offenses involving the pandering or prostitution of a child.
In June, the Nevada Legislature unanimously voted for a new law that allows prosecutors to freeze and seize the assets of anyone who commits certain offenses involving the pandering or prostitution of a child. The law, which takes effect on Oct. 1, also imposes a civil penalty against anyone convicted on child prostitution-related charges. The bill allows for a $500,000 fine if offenders are convicted of trafficking prostitutes younger than age 14 and a $100,000 fine for trafficking prostitutes age 14-17.
