Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 14 which makes the trafficking of a minor for purposes of a commercial sex act a serious felony.

This law increases penalties for human trafficking of minors in California. The law designates human trafficking of a minor for purposes of a commercial sex act as a serious felony — including under the state’s “Three Strikes” law — and imposes harsher penalties and sentencing enhancements for individuals convicted of the crime.
