California rejected a bill to make it a felony to purchase 16 and 17-year-olds for sex. Instead, it will remain a misdemeanor. Some serve as little as two days in prison.
Sen. Shannon Grove’s bill would make solicitation, attempting to engage or engage in sex with a minor for money, a felony with a prison sentence ranging from 2 to 4 years, a fine not exceeding $25,000, and registration as a sex offender.
The bill would punish all those who solicit from a child, regardless of whether or not the person knew or reasonably should have known that the person solicited was a minor.
According to CBS News,the original bill, authored by Senator Shannon Grove, would make soliciting a minor for sex, agreeing to engage or engaging in any form of commercial sex with a child a felony offense with a sex offender registry required on repeat offenses.
However, Democrats on the public safety committee amended the bill to exempt 16- and 17-year-olds from the penalties and reduce the punishment from two years in prison to up to a year in county jail.
“You have a committee forcing amendments in front of survivors that are advocating for this bill,” Senator Grove said. “I’m incredibly disappointed that not only did my colleagues reject my proposal to make the buying of children for sex a prison felony, but that I was blindsided when they amended my bill without my consent.”
THIS IS INSANE!

Those against the bill, including Senator Scott Wiener, said they fear it could target the wrong people by punishing young adults in consensual relationships with minors.
“This bill goes well beyond human trafficking. I think human trafficking, we should throw the book at them. This bill would sweep in a lot of people who are not trafficking. This bill will send people to state prison, on the sex registry, which is basically in many ways the end of their life,” Sen. Wiener said.

ONLY a matter of time now before whites/Christians/men will HAVE to be genocided for democrat “policy”….
Choose wisely.
Democrats openly side with evil. They support terrorist groups, baby killing, pedophiles, Satanists, censorship, political persecution, illegal aliens, felons, rioters, thieves! It’s astounding they are still viewed as a legitimate political party.
I am telling you, in about 10 years at most, liberals will make pedophilia legal or no more an offense than a parking ticket.
You can grow tomatoes in grandma’s decomposing-composting corpse, you can shop lift up to 950$, and on pride day, if you are gay, you can give blow jobs in public.
10 years and pedophilia is legal.
Dude, you’re funny! Grandma’s corpse? lol! But of course you’re correct about the insanity as usual! Can you please walk across the border without an ID and help us vote for some sanity! Our government says it’s okay. We only need about 30,0000,000 fraudulent votes to temporarily forestall the Soros lawbreakers’ fraudulent votes. Thanks!!
I was serious about tomatoes grown in grandma’s corpse
” … six states have legalized human composting. Washington was the first to legalize natural organic reduction. Colorado and Oregon legalized the green burial method in 2021. Vermont and California followed suit in 2022, and earlier this year, New York became the sixth state to allow the process. …”

Un-f’ing-believable! America is composting itself! I wiped my ass with the constitution earlier today. I figured I’d better use it before I lose it. Thanks democrats!
As goes California so goes Obama.
