新墨西哥州总检察长与议员提两项提案 加强保护人口贩运幸存者
据KSFR 10月16日报道，新墨西哥州总检察长劳尔·托雷斯与州众议员梅雷迪思·迪克森本周四宣布两项提案，旨在加强对人口贩运幸存者的保护。
其中一项法案将取消性贩运罪行的诉讼时效，并堵住性犯罪者登记制度的一个漏洞。报道指出，杰弗里·爱泼斯坦在佛罗里达州承认招募未成年人卖淫后，在新墨西哥州购置房产却从未在该州登记为性犯罪者；现行州法对受害者的年龄保护上限低于佛州，该法案将把保护年龄提高到18岁。
迪克森的另一项提案是一项宪法修正案，为性贩运幸存者提供更强的隐私保护。两项提案后续将进入州议会程序。
New Mexico Attorney General and Lawmaker Introduce Measures to Protect Trafficking Survivors
New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez and state Rep. Meredith Dixon announced two proposals on Thursday to increase protections for human trafficking survivors, KSFR reported on October 16.
One bill would eliminate the statute of limitations on sex trafficking crimes and close a loophole in the sex offender registry. Jeffrey Epstein never registered as a sex offender in New Mexico after buying property in the state, following his Florida guilty plea; the bill would also raise the age of protection for victims to 18.
Dixon's other measure is a constitutional amendment that would provide greater privacy protections to survivors of sex trafficking. Both proposals will move through the state legislature.
