I think all states have trafficking charges with "soliciting minors" as offenses too.

I would have thought this was actually a good thing, since Kentucky has a major problem with trafficking and disappearing hotspots that I don't see talked about; I don't have the stats either but Mammoth Cave System is a big factor. If this bill aligns them with the national standard, all the better for future prosecutions, so I'd hope.

I've heard from a woman's descriptions, imprisoned there, about outposts & bases in the forests and restricted reserves that have occultists, full on robe-wearing torturers that she overheard in the woods, which traumatized & sent her to lockup after going digging last year. Apparent open secret, involving a lot of local families. History & museum guides who don't talk about the town rumours on camera out of fear. Others whos anecdotes on camera describe friends & doctors who've been invited to orgies that have included children. This on top of so much paranormal, occult & conspiracy aspects not covered by this sub, that it's worth its own post if only it weren't so massively broad.

A lot of freelance reporting focused there lately, I hope we see more soon. There's a few places in the continental US that have far more significance to child targetting than others, for largely geographic & historically liminal reasons, that drive technological focus there for the same. Far beyond our current scope right now, simply not the point of this sub. Sorry for the tirade.
