Underage prostitution has become a problem in Las Vegas. Minnesota and Nevada were transporting women and underage girls between the two states. The leader of this prostitution ring, Darryl Taylor, was sentenced on April 16 on two counts of sex traficking and for allowing the underage girls to get jobs in strip clubs or escort services, according to Pioneer Press.

According to KTNV, Channel 13 News, Judge William Voy wants to make a safe place for underage prostitutes here in Las Vegas. This was reported by Channel 13 on April 21, 2008. The proposal is for a $2 million house. According to the Judge, the kids come out of the sexual lifestyle but when things get tough again, they fall right back into it. This plan would help the kids stay out of the hands of pimps and such. The Judge also wants the United States to help with this plan.

This is a developing story and it will be interesting finding out if Judge Voy’s plans go through and if the bill he’s fighting for passes.
