Under the provisions of legislation proposed by Sen. Karen Fraser, travel agents in Washington State who book or sell “sex tours” would be committing a Class C felony. The penalty: up to five years in prison and fines up to $10,000. According to the AP, Hawaii already has a similar law on the books, and New York and New Jersey are considering legislation.
