Right now the Nebraska Legislature's Judiciary Committee is hearing testimony on LB 1132, a bill supporting sex trafficking survivors introduced by Senator Patty Pansing Brooks. The bill would allow sex trafficking survivors to have convictions linked to their victimization set aside and their related records sealed.

Survivors and victims of sex trafficking are frequently convicted of crimes they were forced to commit. This threat of arrest allows perpetrators to continue to control and coerce their victims.

Please join me in supporting survivors of sex trafficking by contacting the senators on the Judiciary Committee. Ask them to protect survivors and move this legislation to general file. These senators include:

Senator Laura Ebke, chair: (402) 471-2711

Senator Roy Baker: (402) 471-2620

Senator Ernie Chambers: (402) 471-2612

Senator Steve Halloran: (402) 471-2712

Senator Matt Hansen: (402) 471-2610

Senator Bob Krist: (402) 471-2718

Senator Adam Morfeld: (402) 471-2720
