Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) supported legislation to help stop online sex trafficking and provide justice for victims. The  Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) now goes to the President’s desk for signature. Risch issued the following statement:

"Any person involved in the abhorrent act of human trafficking must be held responsible to the full extent of the law. The bill we passed today equips prosecutors to confront human trafficking head on, and prohibits any website from aiding in the perpetration of this evil. ”
