Florida Attorney General William Gladson is enforcing the law against sex trafficking. In April, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill allowing the death penalty for some sexual crimes against children. Joseph Giampa, 36, was indicted for six counts of sexual battery of a child under 12 years of age and three counts of sexual performance by a child. He was filmed sexually abusing a young boy. He said “he likes it more when the victim does not like it.” AG Gladson said, “Our commitment to ensuring justice and protecting the vulnerable remains unwavering.”
We are calling on our Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings (attorney.general@delaware.gov) to raise the standards in our state and go after, to the fullest extent of the law, the sex trafficking in Delaware. There are known massage parlors with trafficking victims that need to be exposed, shut down and prosecuted. We need the legislators to get on board (Speaker Valerie Longhurst, House Majority Leader Melissa Minor-Brown, House Minority Leader Michael Ramone, House Majority Whip Kerri Evelyn Harris and House Minority Whip Lyndon D. Yearick) and our state leaders too (Gov. John Carney, Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, Sen. Tom Carper, Sen. Chris Coons and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester).
What are we doing in Delaware to protect children and victims? There are 21 million sex slaves. We can no longer ignore this issue.
Stand up for those who can’t stand for themselves.
