Following up our last episode (w/ Brad Dennis) discussing the reality of human trafficking, In this episode we disuss some of the problems with human trafficking and specifically problems with the law. With the federal law being only recently updated (2020) many states are nowhere near where they need to be in order to effectively fight the crime of human trafficking. Our home State of Alaska has serious problems with these crimes and is currently ranked number 1 in the nation for having the most sexual assualt and sex trafficking.
In this episode Stephen and Jacob sit down with Alaska State House Representative Sarah Vance to discuss the major issues Alaska faces with Human Trafficking and other sexual crimes, and the problems with the existing laws. Rep. Sarah Vance also breaks down House Bill 68 and explains how it would be a major improvement over existing "lackluster" and anemic State laws.
Read HB 68:
Rep. Sarah Vance asks that you will support this bill in the next legislative session (2024)
If you or somone you know could be a victim of human trafficking CALL the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 or TEXT "BEFREE" (233733)
SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING!
If your child or family member is missing, or you see/suspect someone/something that could endanger a childs safety or well-being CALL 911 Immediately! There is NO minimum time requirement to report a missing person.
