Congresswoman Ann Wagner (MO-2) and the Chairman of the Crime Subcommittee, Jim Sensenbrenner (WI-05), released the following statements after the passage of the Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation (SAVE) Act from the House Judiciary Committee today:

Rep. Ann Wagner:

"Today's bipartisan passage of the SAVE Act will bring the American people one step closer to ending the horrors of sex trafficking. I would like to sincerely thank Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner for all of his efforts in support of this life saving legislation," said Rep. Wagner. "The SAVE Act will amend the criminal code, and give prosecutors the tools they desperately need to investigate and prosecute those who knowingly advertise sex slavery. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to advance the SAVE Act. Together we can ensure that any advertisement used for the sexual exploitation and enslavement of innocent victims be shut down once and for all."
