The Preventing Trafficking of Minors Act of 2026 aims to strengthen laws against the exploitation of minors in commercial sex acts. Its main purpose is to clarify and expand existing legal prohibitions on coercion and enticement related to minors, making it more difficult for individuals to engage in or solicit sexual activities with minors. Key provisions of this legislation include several specific actions that are now clearly prohibited. It makes it illegal to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce anyone under 18 to engage in commercial sex acts.
