Delaware HB408 amends Title 11 of the Delaware Code to redefine trafficking an individual, forced labor, and sexual servitude, and to strengthen penalties for these offenses. It specifies that trafficking an individual is a class C felony, while patronizing a victim of sexual servitude is a class D felony, escalating to a class C felony if the victim is a minor. The bill also clarifies that it is not a defense in prosecution if the minor consented or if the defendant believed the minor was an adult.
