Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has introduced a bill in Washington that seeks to put an end to sex trafficking. It's a pilot program that would create six shelters throughout the country that would provide safe haven for minors who are being trafficked and sold into sexual slavery. The bill also gives law enforcement the tools to investigate and prosecute more effectively. The bill authorizes block grants of $2 to $2.5 million per year for each shelter.
