Richmond Forum escort thread
[QUOTE=JJCale;7116485]I think it's House Bill 971 for NC. I've read it a few times, states it's a felony for first time offense. A link was shared to hb 971 by a fellow poster below. Can you link me to the house bill you are speaking of?[/QUOTE]Both of those are easily searchable on the internet. Exactly what I did when I read your post. My original reply was literally cut & paste what VIRGINIA house bill 51 reads. You can find it here [URL]https://legacylis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?241[/URL]+sum+HB51. This is a law that will apply to people in the Richmond Virginia escort thread.
I did search NORTH CAROLINA house bill 971 available here [URL]https://www.ncleg.gov/EnactedLegislation/SessionLaws/PDF/2023-2024/SL2024-26.pdf[/URL] . You are correct that if its human trafficking it is a felony IF you are in North Carolina.
That was the entire reason I commented. This thread is Richmond Va. A North Carolina law does not apply in VA. No need to scare mongers with information that does not apply to them in VA. I quickly looked up the changes in VA law that do apply to mongers in VA. Anyone interested just search Virginia house bill 51. Here is the jist of it cut & pasted again.
Va House Bill 51.
Prostitution; solicitation; penalties. Increases from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony the penalty for a third or subsequent offense of solicitation of prostitution from an adult. The bill also makes it a Class 5 felony to solicit prostitution from any minor. Under current law, any person who solicits prostitution from a minor is guilty of a Class 6 felony if the minor is 16 years of age or older or a Class 5 felony if the minor is younger than 16 years of age. Finally, the bill increases the fines for certain offenses related to sex trafficking from $100 to $1,000 and from $500 to $2,500, respectively.
