HB 2665 Arizona House · 56th Legislature - Second Regular Session

child sex trafficking; facilitating prostitution

This bill amends Arizona laws to increase penalties for child sex trafficking and restrict the use of a victim's sexual history in court. It establishes specific criminal acts involving minors, such as recruiting, transporting, or profiting from their involvement in prostitution, and sets mandatory minimum prison terms ranging from 13 to life in prison depending on the victim's age and the offender's prior record. Additionally, the legislation creates a new $500 court assessment for those convicted of related dangerous crimes to fund investigations and clarifies that a victim's past sexual conduct is generally inadmissible as evidence during trials.
