is that true? idk NY law but CA law trafficking has a component of forcing someone to do prostitution against their will
In this (and most cases) there's an ocean between the law as written and how it actually gets applied. This was a pretty cut and dry example of trafficking, even including situations where victims definitionally could not give consent and yet here we are.
If, despite all the efforts of the DNC and the GOP, a good law (like a bill meant to protect vulnerable individuals) somehow manages to make it onto the books, it immediately gets effectively repealed through interpretation by the judiciary until it becomes a waste of ink on the code books.
Add that the average jury is composed almost entirely of reactionary treatlerites who are easily swayed by the theatrics of highly-paid lawyers and this is what you get.
This is how you get billionaire celebrities getting a verbal warning for their 27th DUI.
