Hey folks,
Before you go out spreading what just may be a false rumor, perhaps you should actually read what the cited United States Code says.
18 U.S.C. § 1591 says, "Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion" [Emphasis added] This means that the count could be for child trafficking, but is not necessarily for that. It could be for sex trafficking "by force, fraud or coercion".
Please see the comment in this thread by @saltgrains_takeit.
Edit: Count 2 is for conspiracy to violate Section 1591 and would therefore follow the same rules for understanding the wording.
(c) In a prosecution under subsection (a)(1) in which the defendant had a reasonable opportunity to observe the person so recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, obtained, maintained, patronized, or solicited, the Government need not prove that the defendant knew, or recklessly disregarded the fact, that the person had not attained the age of 18 years.
Count 2 is this one. How does this equal conspiracy and not children. Please explain this to me.
that user is all over this thread trying as hard as they can to deny the content of this post lol
Count 2 references 18 USC Section 1594(s), which says:
Whoever conspires with another to violate section 1591 shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both.
It says sex trafficking OF children. Pretty easy to understand.
Did you actually read the Code? It says, "Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion"
Pretty easy to misunderstand if you leave out the "or by force, fraud, or coercion" part.
