WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — A renewed effort at the State Capitol seeks to increase the mandatory fine for soliciting prostitutes.
State Senator Andre Jacque of DePere says it’s an effort to prevent human trafficking by limiting demand.
“This is meant to be a significant enough amount that it is something that changes behavior, that causes some some forethought.” said Jacque.
The bill has bipartisan backing. It would create an automatic $5 thousand court fee for anyone convicted of paying for sex with a prostitute.
