Don Dix interviews Dr. Stephany Powell on why SB 357 endangers women and enables sex trafficking

Radio host Don Dix, with AM 590 The ANSWER, interviews Dr. Stephanie Powell, the Director of Law Enforcement Training and Survivor Services with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and a 30 year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. She explains the dangers of SB 357, a CA bill to legalize loitering for purpose of engaging in prostitution. "[SB 357] cripples law enforcement in its ability to arrest and prosecute human sex traffickers," Powell explained. If prostitutes are waving down cars on any public street, in any neighborhood, in front of any business, or if a girl walking to the store is continually harassed by sex buyers, "the police will be able to do nothing about it." "It also repeals law enforcement's ability to make contact by arrest or by citing sex buyers, who would be loitering for the purposes of prostitution," Powell said. The goal of the bill "is to pave the way to full decriminalization of prostitution," she explained.
