Sessions blocked The Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Deterrence and Victims Support Act of 2010. Think Progress wrote an article calling him out for it. ICYMI, Think Progress is a branch of Center for American Progress, founded by John Podesta.
In the article (don't worry, it's an archive link), they state:
Sessions is pushing back against claims that he believes child victims deserve to be arrested as prostitutes, something the conservative Concerned Women of America alleged.
EDIT: I just realized how much Think Progress twisted what was said (typical): to clarify, this Woman's group does think underage sex workers (slaves) should be arrested:
Leaving laws in place creates another layer of protection for victims. The laws enable police to investigate these crimes and intercede. Sometimes taking a girl into custody allows her to be separated from her pimp long enough to get her help.
Concerned Women of America is a biased group, quite conservative and Christian, but have a good point. Child prostitution needs to be illegal. Duh. The liberal argument is, why prosecute a child, but the fact is, the under age victim rarely gets prosecuted. They get arrested, taken away from their pimp, or whatever abuser, and can get help. When it is legal, it can be ignored. Law enforcement can't intervene, only report it... to the corrupt child protection services in the government. Wtf.
It's the same thing we saw recently in California; underage prostitution was decriminalized, defenders claimed, "It's wrong to criminalize victims," critics pointed out that a child being abused in this manner is much less likely to get help if it's legal. They are instructed to tell LE they are doing it by choice. They are afraid to go to LE on their own, so arresting them is a good way to pull them out of their situation. Not to mention that, shouldn't it be illegal, fucking duh!?
The Democrats, and especially the Clintons, have a history of pushing laws to decriminalize child sex abuse. Here's a WSJ article from 2000, The Clintons Shrug At Sex Trafficking. Nancy Pelosi tried to push a bill decriminalizing sex trafficking in San Francisco, Preposition K- @quantokitty did a good post on it here- https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1507948. And under president Bill Clinton, The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, which required victims to aid in prosecuting their trafficker (which victims don't want to do...)
There have been a lot of shady trafficking laws. Good rabbit hole if you want to see who's connected to them. Bad thing is, they write these laws to look good on the surface. But, I think Sessions sees right through it.

Rep. Jepson (R) in 83 added an unknown amendment to the 'gay bill of rights' to lower the age of consensual sex to 9 yrs. old. Sen. Grassley didn't believe it was in the bill when notified by Ted Gunderson and Noreen Gosch. So those two and others went to DC to Grassley's office where he provided a copy of the bill. Seven hours later there it was !! Amendment 29 or something near the end!
That is why the gay bill of rights failed in 83.
You see the Republicans were trying to lower the age of lawful sex with a child. THEN when someone got caught it would be known it's legal! The meme was planned "THE DEMOCRATS HAD THIS IN THEIR GAY BILL OF RIGHTS! See?? Do you see how the blame was to be placed? But a republican male did it!
When we researched the Franklin scandal we thought it was a republican thing as poppy Bush built that ring with the CIA. But there would be more. Poppy got old and it's clear Clinton was groomed to take it over. Hence the server in his home built for HIM according to Hillary, when he left office. So it pains me to read here it's Clinton and the democrats. This op is a worldwide op we run that makes the most money ever. Just because the dems got caught doesn't mean republicans aren't just as involved. This is a cabal. It knows no party. That is a social game set up for US Cerf's. At this time they need to be arrested in order for our republic to be restored back to it's people. If not, nothing changes. Please get off the democrat thing. The Republicans built it. Both run it! The partisanship in this research will hinder your work and turn your fellow researchers off. We here make up all parties and the history shows who is in charge. House of Bush/Clinton/Saud/Moasad. Why do you think republicans are just as angry as democrats in elected office that Trump won? Anyway, its not the democrats per say. Can we keep this non partisan as we have democrats trying to take the Clinton's down too? Or do you really believe your own words about the democrats doing this?

No, I agree it should be nonpartisan. (I side with neither face of the two headed monster.) You need to be non partisan, too, ie, if I call out democrats (or republicans) specifically don't get mad. I've been following along, I realize it is the entire government. But who has been throwing a temper tantrum since November? Who has been in histrionics over ever cabinet pick? So I dug a little into why. I think another question is why aren't the Republicans fighting it when so many of them are dirty?
