California's new law decriminalizing loitering for the purposes of
prostitution went into effect Jan. 1

Pimps and prostitutes have taken to the streets of Los Angeles after a
California law decriminalizing loitering for the purposes of prostitution
went into effect on Jan. 1.

Figueroa Street, also known as "The Blade," has been lined with
prostitutes and their pimps in broad daylight in the weeks since the law
signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom became reality.

A mother-daughter duo fighting sex trafficking in the city joined "Jesse
Watters Primetime," Monday, to detail what they are witnessing on the
streets and how they are trying to help save women from abuse.

"You can see the pimps on the street corners. You can see them driving
down the street. You can see them antagonizing women as they work," crisis
case manager Erin Wilson said, adding there could be a line of up to 50
cars waiting to speak to the women.

Wilson is a member of Journey Out, a Los Angeles non-profit helping
victims of commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

Wilson's mother, Stephany Powell, vice president of the National Center on
Sexual Exploitation, detailed how they intervene to help women walk away
from their pimps.

"What happens is, they're given information on how to actually get out of
the life. So for those that want to get out of the life, they are given
resources in order to do so."

"The path to safety and protection, it's a human rights issue, right? And
in order to do this, you've got to enforce the laws. So force laws against
pimping, trafficking, purchasing, while at the same time giving support
and pathways for those that are being exploited," Powell added.

California's Democrat legislature passed the Safer Streets for All Act
last year after they said the previous loitering ban unfairly
discriminated against the LGBTQ+ community.

Powell argued the new law disproportionally affects minorities instead.

"The people that get exploited are going to be those groups of people that
are the most vulnerable, and that will include that group as well," she
said, warning abuse is allowed to "run rampant" in a legalized system that
does nothing to protect victims.

The duo described the work they are committed to as "incredibly
dangerous."

"We have a lot of safety protocols that go with it. We leave before a
certain time because violence can erupt any moment," Powell said.
