🔥🔥🔥@NCOSE to DOJ: Prosecute traffickers (including those who solicit and patronize trafficking victims per TVPA definition of “sex trafficking”) unveiled in Epstein files! @dmhughes55 @Marcel_HT @HaleyMcNamara @DaniBPinter @BenjaminBull4 @McCormickProf endsexualexploitation.org/articles/ncose…

The cold ❄️may be coming in, but the heat is on for sex buyers in legislatures across the country! 🔥🔥🔥   This month alone, 38 states have convened their legislative sessions, and 13 states have introduced, or continue to advance, legislation to strengthen penalties for those who seek to buy people for commercial sexual exploitation. States are increasingly recognizing that demand drives sexual exploitation—and that holding buyers accountable is essential to reducing trafficking and protecting victims.   Our Senior Public Policy Manager, Megan Griffin, breaks down the key trends that @NCOSE’s Public Policy team is tracking at the state level. Thank you to our incredible state partners working with legislators across the nation to advance this critical work! @EkGaetan @DaniBPinter

Megyn Kelly’s recent comments on Jeffrey Epstein dangerously minimize the reality of child sexual abuse by drawing arbitrary age lines that dismiss survivors’ experiences. At NCOSE, we stand firm: exploitation at any age is abuse—full stop. Survivors deserve truth, dignity, and justice.

NCOSE was honored to brief the National Security Council, Domestic Policy Council, Homeland Security Council, and other senior White House officials on sextortion—one of the fastest-growing threats to Americans. We called for immediate collaboration among government, tech companies, and financial institutions to dismantle these operations. This briefing builds on wins by our Public Policy team: We've helped shape bipartisan bills like the GUARD Act and AI LEAD Act, and champion the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
