Democrats Continue to Coddle Child Rapists in California; California Democrats Prove Again That They Care More About Perverts Than Kids

Democrats Continue to Coddle Child Rapists in California:

Why do California Democrats balk at throwing the book at adults who solicit sex from children?

Last year, Democrats passed a bill pushed by Republicans that made it a felony to solicit all minors for sex. The Democratic supermajority carved out an exemption for 15- and 16-year-olds. That they think there’s a difference in the maturity of a 15- and 16-year-old is hard to fathom, but they must have felt the current penalty of two days to one year in jail for soliciting was sufficient. Their excuse was that some 16- and 17-year-olds are in “consenting relationships.” I’m sure their pimps appreciate that.

Soliciting for sex involves asking for or arranging sex in exchange for money or something valuable. Having sex with a minor and paying for it are still felonies.

This year, there was a bipartisan effort to close the age loophole in the solicitation bill. Assembly Bill 379, a bipartisan bill from Assemblywoman Maggy Krell and state Sen. Shannon Grove, would have made it a felony punishable by three years in jail to solicit sex from a minor of any age.

Once again, Democrats stepped in to make the state safe for pimps and other lowlifes who solicit sex with children.

Washington Examiner:

However, Assembly Public Safety Chairman Nick Schultz has instead opted “to host info hearings on the issue in the fall” as Democratic legislators voted to forcefully gut the bill against Krell’s wishes to remove the provision making it a felony to purchase sex from all minors.

Republicans responded by proposing a “hostile” amendment to restore the provision, which Krell officially endorsed, saying she does not consider the restoration amendment “hostile” and would be voting to support it.

In one notable exchange on the Assembly floor session on AB 379, Assemblyman Mark Gonzalez took aim at Assemblyman Carl DeMaio for his support of making it a felony to buy sex from children.

“SB 357, which this bill is trying to fix, legalized loitering for the purpose of sex work and prostitution. Why? Because somehow it was spun as anti-LGBT to try and enforce laws against sex trafficking,” DeMaio said on the Assembly floor. “I will tell you as a gay Republican it is offensive, and a supermajority of the gay community disavow the LGBTQ caucus claiming that somehow this bill is anti-gay. It’s offensive to use the gay community as window dressing for sex trafficking.”

Democrats thought that legalizing loitering would keep child prostitutes out of jail and make sex work more legitimate. Go figure. —>READ MORE HERE

California Democrats Prove Again That They Care More About Perverts Than Kids

California Democrats can’t help themselves when it comes to choosing adult sexual predators over their underage prey.

For the past few days, the state Assembly Democrats have fought to keep sexual predators from facing felony charges when they approach or victimize 16- and 17-year-old Californians. Republicans want to include much tougher penalties for victims up to the age of 18.

This is the sick state of play in the state of California. Democrats are hell bent making the age of consent as early as possible, want to cut parents out of intimate details of their children at school, and this amoral witches’ brew results in these teens being left more vulnerable. And now they want to exempt bad actors from being charged with a felony for wanting to have sex with these underage kids.

Opponents of AB 379 want people who traffic or approach 16- and 17-year-olds to be charged with a felony.

Democrats desperately want to exclude the 16- and 17-year-olds from the bill.

Politico reports that leather-loving San Francisco Sen. Scott Wiener is “just floored” by the suggested protections for 16- and 17-year-olds.

Democrats want to remove 16- and 17-year-olds in large part because they fear parents upset about interracial or LGBTQ relationships involving older teens could prompt them to weaponize solicitation laws authored by state Sen. Shannon Grove to include 16- and 17-year-olds after Democrats carved the older teens out of the bill last year.

“Involving older ‘teens.’” Sure.

Politico suggests that protecting 16- and 17-year-olds from sexual predators is some kind of Republican stunt — a wedge to make California Democrats look bad. But bad is as bad does. Democrats did it to themselves.

Most of the Democrats trying to empty prisons of predators and make it harder for them to go back didn’t get the memo from State Sen. Susan Eggman, who was a child counselor. —>READ MORE HERE
