AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TRAFFICKING AN INDIVIDUAL, FORCED LABOR AND SEXUAL SERVITUDE.

Summary

The bill revises Delaware’s trafficking statutes so that any minor involved in commercial sexual activity is automatically treated as a trafficking victim, even if no third‑party trafficker is identified. It makes it a felony to purchase or obtain a minor for such activity and removes consent defenses for minors. The changes bring state law into line with the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act and aim to give victims better access to services.
