Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the Senate's passage of the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act:


"Human trafficking is a heinous crime that calls for strict enforcement. Any website that facilitates it in any way should feel the full force of the law. This legislation closes a loophole that has protected bad actors for far too long, and allows state attorneys general to bring more of them to justice. There's been an alarming spike in trafficking in recent years, and this bill will help keep women and children out of the hands of criminals."
