Attorney, Beth Klein, Is Determained To End Sex Trafficking!

May 31, 2011 by

[HTML1]  Colorado has seen three prostitution rings broken up and those involved prosecuted since May 2010, after Beth Klein’s anti-human trafficking law went into effect. The Denver-based attorney drafted the state law, which provides legal authority for local prosecutors to charge entire prostitution rings, from the owner of a brothel to the person who transports sex workers into the United States.

At the request of the president of the Colorado State Senate, Klein is now writing a law to take sex trafficking prosecution to an “extraordinary level.” She’s working with the state’s attorney general and other organizations to end sex slavery by continuing to break up rings and compensate victims. Klein is also developing strategies to bring lawsuits against pedophiles and traffickers to obtain compensation for their victims.

Klein realized that while prostitution is often illegal, the process that creates the availability of prostitutes has not been identified as trafficking. Klein decided to do something–namely, educate men on prostitution and transform their view of it. She says oftentimes when men realize they’re contributing to a destructive cycle–most prostitutes are forced into this way of life as young as age 12–they no longer want to participate.

Klein also serves on the national steering committee of Demand Abolition, an advocacy organization that seeks to dramatically reduce the demand for sex trafficking and commercial sex in the United States. She has been invited to work with the Knesset in Israel and senior ministers in Scotland in 2011 to assist these nations in creating effective anti-trafficking laws.

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
