In California, it’s okay to shoplift or
solicit sex from a minor. Both are misdemeanors which means that
they’re hardly even worth prosecuting.
That’s why less than 10
miles from the dark dome of the California State Capitol building, the
state’s inferior copy of the U.S. Capitol, lies the ‘Blade’ where children are sold into sex slavery.
One study estimated
that there were over 13,000 victims in Sacramento, the state’s capital,
in past years. That included an estimated 1,600 minors: some as young
as only 12 years old.
And the numbers are incomplete because many
will never be freed since the perpetrators, those who sell and solicit
them, continue to be protected by California’s political elites. Little
girls are being sold outside into sex slavery within driving distance of
the Capitol building with the complicity of the legislators comfortably
and profitably running the state on the inside.
California’s
pro-crime policies helped decriminalize soliciting minors for sex, along
with shoplifting and many other crimes, and activists have been trying
to criminalize it again. After several rounds of legislation were
blocked by California pro-crime leftists, Senate Bill 1414 appeared to
be on the verge of sailing through. A bipartisan piece of legislation,
it already had a promise of support from Gov. Newsom and conservatives
and anti-trafficking groups behind it.
But by the time that Sen. Susan Eggman took to the Senate floor and blasted her party, the pro-crime contingent had successfully managed to undermine the child protection bill yet again.
“I’d
like to say as a progressive, proud member of this body for the last 12
years, I’m done. I’m done with us protecting people who would buy and
abuse our children. I’m done,” she fumed.
“I don’t want to send
more black and brown men to prison. I don’t want more people in prison,
but I don’t want people buying girls. I don’t want people buying little
girls anymore. I’m tired of saying it’s okay and that we have to protect
the men who do it.”
Who was protecting the men buying little girls? Sen. Eggman’s colleagues.
Those
colleagues allegedly included Sen. Aisha Wahab, the first Afghan or
Muslim senator, who had joined with her political allies to amend Senate
Bill 1414 to protect those soliciting 16-year-olds for sex. Worse still, the process weakened the punishment for child predators.
“Today,
the Senate Public Safety Committee refused to pass my bill to send
child sex buyers to prison. Instead of making the buying of kids a
felony with prison time, the committee forced me to take amendments I
didn’t agree with and watered down my bill to allow a fine or minimum
county jail time,” Sen. Shannon Grove, a Republican who was behind the
bill, spoke out.
Previous
compromises with pro-crime Democrats had already weakened the penalties
so that only two-time offenders with an age difference of at least ten
years would end up on the sex offender registry, but Sen. Grove drew the
line at protecting those who solicit 16-year-olds for sex. The
‘hostile’ amendments were added anyway.
Sen. Wahab shut down efforts to bring more witnesses to testify in support of the bill.
“Solicitation
is not trafficking. Solicitation is not prostitution. Solicitation is a
verbal request of an action in exchange for money that is usually
sexual in nature,” the first Afghan Muslim politician had argued.
And the resulting bill, according to
Sen. Grove, allows child sexual solicitation to “still be charged as a
misdemeanor, punishable by as little as 2 days in jail OR up to a
$10,000 fine.”
“Are you forcing these amendments on me, Madam Chair?” Sen. Grove had asked.
“Most likely, yes,” Sen. Wahab retorted.
And that made them ‘hostile amendments’ which protected men buying young girls.
It
was fitting then that Sen. Aisha Wahab was named after the historical
Islamic figure of Aisha, the 7-year-old ‘child bride’ of Mohamed, the
founder of Islam, whom he married and raped.
Protecting sex
predators was the latest controversial move by Sen. Aisha Wahab who had
only been elected in 2022, but has managed to infuriate community
members with some ugly moves.
Wahab, who claims to be the “First
Afghan Woman in the Nation to Be Elected to Public Office”, had
previously advanced a ‘Hinduphobic’ ‘caste discrimination bill’
targeting Hindus. Indian-Americans in Wahab’s district responded to the
Anti-Hindu effort by the only Muslim senator with a recall campaign that
was, like a number of such community efforts, sabotaged by the
Democratic political machine which had protected the radical Muslim
leftist politician.
“It’s disappointing to see that this is their
third attempt, based on the fact that I carried a bill about civil
rights and they’re not happy with it,” the Muslim politician blasted Hindus.
Joining
the Hindu recall effort were district members upset over Wahab’s
support for criminals. And they say that her tampering with efforts to
protect children is only the latest example of it.
Sen. Aisha
Wahab had previously run for Congress and has her sights set on national
office. Meanwhile the sex trafficking in the victims, whom Sen. Wahab
cruelly abandoned, goes on.
While Muslim ‘sex grooming gangs’ are
something that Americans tend to associate with British cities, a
Justice Department report had previously warned
about sex trafficking across the border involving not only Latin
American gangs, but “Iranians, Pakistanis, Iraqi, Saudi, Russian, and
Somali facilitators.” Most are traditionally groups that share Sen.
Wahab’s Islamic religion.
One interview described a, “bunch of
pimps” with “infrastructure like a gang” with “Saudis mostly, one is
Iranian and one is Pakistani.” That resembles similar setups involving
Muslim sex grooming gangs operating in the UK.
How bad is
America’s ‘sex grooming gang’ problem? We may never know because
California continues to serve as a ‘sanctuary state for sexual abuse.
After a prolonged battle to crack down on sex trafficking, a crackdown
on sexual solicitation has been averted thanks to Sen. Wahab.
