BOISE, Idaho — Human trafficking is a problem known to law enforcements agencies across the Treasure Valley; however, not a single human trafficker has been convicted in the Gem State in the last five years, according to Nampa Police Det. Chad Benson.
Det. Benson supports House Bill 341 alongside unanimous approval from both chambers of the state legislature. The bill aims to redefine one section of Idaho’s code that criminalizes prostitution. The legislation would substitute the word “prostitute” for “any person who knowingly accepts proceeds… from another person engaging in sexual contact.”
