AB 41: Under this bill, a person who is under the age of 18 may not be prosecuted for committing an act of prostitution. This is a change from current law, under which a person who is under the age of 18 may be prosecuted for committing an act of prostitution, a Class A misdemeanor. This bill also eliminates the option under current law in cases where a person under the age of 18 has committed an act of prostitution for a court to enter a consent decree under the Juvenile Justice Code, or a deferred prosecution agreement under the Juvenile Justice Code or adult criminal statutes, if the court determines that a consent decree or deferred prosecution agreement will serve the best interests of the person being prosecuted and will not harm society.

Daily Prayers from January – February 4, 2018 (Superbowl Sunday): Superbowl is a lot of fun, but not for everyone. Unfortunately, it is also a time when trafficked youth and adults are sold for sex. People of faith from Northeastern Wisconsin want to lift everyone’s awareness and offer prayers that they wrote for the time leading up to Superbowl Sunday. Thank you to LOPPW Advisory Council Member Deb Martin for being a part of this project and sharing the prayers with us. Permission is granted to adapt and share them as you wish. Click below:
