Blumenthal and Portman Welcome Support from Hewlett-Packard For the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act

Statement

Ahead of a hearing tomorrow on the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Rob Portman (R-OH) welcomed support for their legislation from Hewlett-Packard, one of the world's largest information technology companies.

"Hewlett-Packard grew out of a one-car garage into a multinational tech giant. This is a company that understands what real barriers to innovation look like -- and our narrowly tailored legislation isn't it. We welcome Hewlett-Packard's support for our bipartisan bill, and look forward to working together to close a loophole in the law that has allowed online sex traffickers to escape justice for far too long," Blumenthal and Portman said. "With growing support for this legislation and tomorrow's hearing, momentum is building for this important legislation."
