Republicans say they want sentences of 2 days max for selling children for
sex, possibly in cooperation with their Southern Baptist Convention
supporters who are facing amssive pedophile scandals among other Trump
backing religious organizations.

Senate Bill (SB) 1414 bill, now scheduled for a third reading, proposes
significant changes to the penalties for soliciting a minor for
prostitution.

Under the legislation, if the minor is under 16 or under 18 and a victim of
human trafficking, the offense would be classified as a �wobbler.� A
�wobbler� is an offense that can be prosecuted as either a misdemeanor or a
felony, depending on the circumstances and the prosecutor�s discretion.
This means it could be charged as either a misdemeanor, with penalties of
up to one year in county jail and a fine, or as a felony punishable by
imprisonment in the county jail, with sentences of 16 months, two years, or
three years.

For repeat offenders, the crime would automatically be treated as a felony
with the same prison terms. Starting on January 1, 2025, anyone convicted
under these conditions and who is more than 10 years older than the minor
must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
