Arizona passes Prop. 313: Life without parole for convicted child sex traffickers

With 64.47% of the votes at 99% of precincts reporting, Arizona has passed Prop. 313, establishing a lifetime sentence without parole for those convicted of sex trafficking a minor.

Currently, a defendant guilty of sex trafficking a minor 15-years-old or older can receive a minimum of 10 years and 13 years for sex trafficking a minor younger than 15.

Arizona law defines child sex trafficking as “using a minor for the purposes of prostitution, or causing a minor to be used in prostitution, including transporting, recruiting, or providing for a minor to engage in prostitution or any sexually explicit performance.”
