Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting Child Sex Trafficking Victim Witnesses Act, aims to improve support and protections for young survivors who testify against human traffickers. It directs the Department of Justice to develop and publish guidance on how to minimize the negative impacts of testifying on these vulnerable children, including travel arrangements, safe accommodations, and post-trial safety planning. Furthermore, the bill updates training requirements for law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges to ensure they are aware of and can implement these victim-centered protocols, and modifies existing grant programs to better support these efforts.
