Human Trafficking a Problem in Northern Nevada
Reno, Nev — A former UNR professor and IRS agent is under arrest for human trafficking — and experts say it’s a growing problem here in Northern Nevada.
Experts say it is a form of modern day slavery… and the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the 21st century, as a $9 billion dollar a year global industry. And they say the State of Nevada is not immune to this troubling problem.

Bill Makes Pimps Pay Dearly
CARSON CITY — Every Wednesday morning teenage prostitutes appear in District Judge William Voy’s court where they receive minor sentences he readily admits won’t keep them from going back to their pimps and the mean streets.
A partial solution may be coming in a bill being drafted by newly elected Assemblyman John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas. Under Hambrick’s proposal, judges could freeze assets of pimps and panderers of children when they are arrested.
Legislation to combat child prostitution

Las Vegas Review Journal Endorsement
As a reflection of Nevada’s electorate, the Assembly resembles a fun house mirror. Over the past decade, the number of registered Republicans and Democrats has remained almost even in this state. But horribly gerrymandered districts have distorted the state’s representation, giving Democrats 27 of the Assembly’s 42 seats.
