NY’s Anti-Trafficking Law Gets its First Indictment
A Queens’ pimp is the first person to be indicted under New York’s new Anti-Trafficking Law passed by former Governor Elliot Spitzer in November 2007. Pimps and traffickers now face up to 25 years in prison, a substantial increase from the previous sentence of 2 ½ to 7 years. The law also provides further social services for victims of sex trafficking. The first convicted pimp is accused of kidnapping and forcing a 16-year-old girl to have sex with nearly 200 men.
