Arizona Republican lawmakers have introduced mirror bills that would make child sex trafficking a crime punishable by life in prison.

On Jan. 25, key sponsors of the legislation held a press conference at Arizona’s state capitol building in Phoenix, saying the measure seeks to put an end to the buying and selling of children for sex in the Grand Canyon State.
