Bill > AB86

This bill amends existing Wisconsin statutes to impose a penalty of life imprisonment for the crime of child trafficking, which involves knowingly recruiting, enticing, providing, obtaining, selling, purchasing, harboring, transporting, transferring, receiving, patronizing, soliciting, isolating, holding, confining, or depriving of liberty any child for the purpose of commercial sex acts. Specifically, it creates a new provision that makes child trafficking a Class A felony, punishable by life imprisonment without the possibility of extended supervision, if the act involves at least three child victims. The bill also expands the definition of child trafficking to include actions like selling, purchasing, transferring, receiving, isolating, holding, confining, or depriving of liberty, and clarifies that benefiting from child trafficking is also a felony. Furthermore, it amends sections related to parole and extended supervision eligibility to ensure that individuals sentenced to life imprisonment for child trafficking under these new provisions are not eligible for early release.
