Alabama HB653 mandates a life sentence for human trafficking in the first degree when the victim is subjected to sexual servitude.

Alabama HB653 amends the state's human trafficking laws to impose a mandatory life sentence for individuals convicted of human trafficking in the first degree when the victim is subjected to sexual servitude. This bill adds to existing law, which already requires a life sentence for defendants trafficking minors. The new provision ensures that even without the involvement of a minor, a life sentence is mandatory if the victim was subjected to sexual servitude.
