Human trafficking.

Abstract

Modifies the definition of "protected person" for purposes of the admission of a statement or videotape of an individual who is less than 14 years of age at the time of the offense but less than 18 years of age at the time of trial. Removes the requirement that money paid for a human trafficking victim or for an act performed by a human trafficking victim be paid to a third party, and specifies that a person commits the offense if the person knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a human trafficking victim. Increases the penalty if the person knows or reasonably should know that the human trafficking victim is less than 18 years of age. Specifies that consent by the human trafficking victim is not a defense to a prosecution. Requires law enforcement agencies to report human trafficking investigations to the attorney general within 30 days after an investigation begins.
