Mr. MacLean helped spearhead support for a pilot project in Alameda County that trains law enforcement and prosecutors to recognize and respond to child prostitutes as victims of commercial sexual exploitation rather than as criminals. The project also helps connect victims to a full spectrum of social services, helping them escape the cycle of violence and exploitation. In 2009, Mr. MacLean helped shepherd the Human Trafficking Accountability Act through the Legislature. Signed into law last fall, it mandates increased penalties for traffickers and subjects their assets to seizure and sale. Mr. MacLean is now a student at Georgetown University Law Center, focusing on human trafficking on the Pacific Rim.
