California Senator Susan Eggman criticized fellow Democrats for weakening SB 1414, a bill to toughen sentences for soliciting underage prostitutes.
California Democrat Senator Susan Eggman criticized fellow party members for watering down a bill that would toughen sentences for those soliciting underage prostitutes, stating, "I'm done with us protecting people who would buy and abuse our children." Eggman's impassioned speech called for the bill, SB 1414, to be passed in its original form, making it a felony punishable by two to four years in prison and registration as a sex offender. The current state laws allow people who solicit underage prostitutes to be charged with misdemeanors, resulting in only two days in jail.
