Such information was disseminated on social networks and propaganda media. Reports say California has allegedly blocked a bill that would have made trafficking of minors a serious crime. The authors report that California leads the nation in child trafficking cases. And they sum up: “this situation is the result of the policy of Joseph Biden”. It is not true.

Analysts from the VoxCheck project analyzed this case and explained that child trafficking is punishable by law in the United States. In fact, at the time of the spread of messages on social networks, senators unblocked consideration of a bill to make trafficking in minors a serious crime. Accordingly, Joe Biden could not revoke an executive order aimed at combating child trafficking. That is, propagandists distorted information about the bill itself and wrote that it was allegedly blocked. Although in general we are not talking about objecting to the crime of trafficking in children, but only about strengthening the responsibility for the crime. And revision to the law.

Under current California law, trafficking in minors is punishable by up to 12 years in prison. At the same time, sexual exploitation of a minor, accompanied by coercion, deceit, intimidation, can lead to imprisonment for 15 years or life.
