Minnesota has a big problem and a Mankato based nonprofit called Child Protection League is leading a legislative campaign called Protect Minnesota’s Kids Act. Current Legislation HF229 and HF226 Stricter Penalties for Trafficking in Child Sexual Abuse Imagery would adopt tougher sentencing guidelines and identify predatory offenders who are convicted of possessing, disseminating and trading online materials that depict the violent abuse, torture and rape of young children-even toddlers. 55% of predators in possession of these kinds of violent images and videos may also be an active “contact offender.” Currently in MN, through a ‘stay of adjudication,’ about 85% of persons convicted of trafficking in child sexual abuse images receive probation, no prison time, no identification as a sexual predator and no record of criminal offense.
