The Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing on legislation to combat sex trafficking, specifically a section of the bill that would allow victims to sue internet companies that can facilitate these crimes. One of the witnesses, Yvonne Ambrose, gave a heartfelt testimony about her daughter who was a sex trafficking victim recruited online and later brutally murdered. Other witnesses included the general counsels from both the Internet Association and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and Xavier Becerra, the California attorney general and a former Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives. close
