Washington state considers elevating soliciting a prostitute to a felony to curb sex trafficking.
Washington state lawmakers are considering a bill to elevate the crime of "patronizing a prostitute" from a misdemeanor to a felony to combat the sex trade in areas like Aurora Avenue.
The bill would allocate fees from offenders to education programs for perpetrators and services for victims of sex trafficking.
Critics fear it may put sex workers and trafficking victims at greater risk, while supporters believe it targets buyers and will reduce exploitation.
The bill is under consideration by the state legislature.
