New York Sex-Trade Related Cases to get own set of Courts

New York plans on creating a new set of courts dealing with the prostitution, child abuse, and human and sex-trafficking cases, as well as prostitution. This isn't the first state to create a set of courts specifically for these kinds of cases, and 11 new courts will be created just to deal with cases like this. 5 of these courts will be built in all 5 boroughs and 6 from Long Island to Buffalo. Luckily, setting up these courts won't cost tax payers any more money, and will deal with the children who are impacted by abuse, sex trafficking, or any other cases that, according to State Chief Justice Lippman says are "commonly overlooked, misunderstood, and unaddressed forms of child abuse."

Some states have made it that children under the age of consent can be charged with prostitution, rather than being treated as victims.
