2 Congress finds the following: 

3 (1) Recent studies indicate that thousands of 

4 children and youth are at risk for human trafficking 

5 in the United States. 

6 (2) A significant percentage of children and 

7 youth who are trafficked in the United States will 

8 commit prostitution offenses or other nonviolent of9 fenses in connection with their exploitation by a traf10 ficker. 

11 (3) The prostitution statutes in many jurisdic12 tions do not differentiate between adult prostitutes 

13 and children or youths who have been commercially 

14 sexually exploited. 


tjames@gpo.gov on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with BILLS

•S 2564 IS

1 (4) Evidence suggests that runaway or home2 less children and youth and young adults leaving the 

3 foster care system are especially vulnerable to com4 mercial sexual exploitation. 

5 (5) The majority of children and youths who 

6 are involved in the criminal or justice systems are 

7 responsive to interventions that integrate treatment, 

8 rehabilitation, and support services. 

9 (6) Collaborative programs between services 

10 providers and criminal or juvenile justice systems 

11 that ensure the provision of counseling, housing and 

12 related services for trafficking victims can reduce the 

13 number of such individuals in corrections facilities.

24 victims’ courts, with appropriate treatment options;

1 (3) to maximize the use of alternatives to pros2 ecution in appropriate cases involving youths who 

3 have committed nonviolent offenses, such as pros4 titution, in connection with their exploitation by a 

5 trafficker;

7 justice system personnel about the unique challenges 

8 facing juveniles who have been trafficked and the 

9 appropriate response to such children and youths in 

10 the criminal justice system; 

11 (5) to promote communication among adult or
