Pennsylvania HB277 expands civil causes of action for sex trade victims.
Pennsylvania HB277 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to expand civil causes of action for victims of the sex trade. Victims can now bring a civil action against those who recruit, profit from, or cause bodily harm to them, as well as those who knowingly advertise for recruitment into sex trade activity. The bill specifies that such actions can be filed in the court of common pleas of the county where the victim resides or where the alleged violations occurred.
