Criminal Law (Human Trafficking) Bill 2007: Committee Stage.
5:00 pm
Rónán Mullen (Independent)
I take it from the Minister of State's comments that because the definition of "trafficking" includes the provision of the person with accommodation or employment and the end user in the example I gave who engages in the making of pornography, which would come under the definition of "sexual exploitation" in the legislation, would be criminalised if he or she were using the services of a trafficked person, whether he or she knew that or not. Is the Minister of State saying that without my amendment, such a person would have committed a crime?
