A bill that will allow family members of crime victims to see certain pieces of evidence prior to trial is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk for his signature.

A new bill intended to combat online sexual trafficking and exploitation will begin making its way through the California state senate.
On Tuesday, Senator Dave Cortese (D-San Jose) introduced legislation that would give victims, including children and their parents, the ability to file civil causes of action against the distributors of naked or sexual photographs and videos the first bill of its kind in the nation.
Cortese, who worked on the bill with the California Women s Law Center, local advocates and sexual assault survivors, said the goal is to end human trafficking in the digital age.
