An Act To Increase Accountability For Persons Engaged In Commercial Sexual Exploitation And Human Trafficking And To Support Victims

Summary

The bill requires courts to impose an extra $500 fine on anyone convicted of prostitution, sex trafficking, aggravated sex trafficking, soliciting a child for commercial sexual exploitation, or commercial sexual exploitation of a minor or a person with a mental disability, and $1,000 for repeat offenders. The collected assessments are transferred to Maine’s Victims' Compensation Fund and must be used to help victims of those crimes. Courts can waive the assessment if the offender cannot pay.
