Fedor says those changes will make it easier to catch and prosecute those who are guilty of human trafficking. As state law has cracked down on these criminals, she says, police and prosecutors find there are some specific changes that need to be made to keep up with offenders.
FEDOR: "This is a pretty tragic situation happening in our own state and our own backyards. It comes in many forms and fashions. It’s like a chameleon. As soon as they figure out that we’ve figured out their scheme, they’ve moved and they’ve changed into something else."
Fedor’s bill would, among other things, extend statute of limitations for trafficking to 20 years. It would also crack down on electronic means of perpetuating human trafficking.
