A Democratic California state senator arguing to keep pedophiles in prison longer is criticizing progressive members of her own party.
Susan Eggman spoke on the California Senate floor, blasting her fellow Democrats who she believed were seeking to water down the legislation. The bill, introduced by a Republican member, looks to hike the penalty to at least two to four years in prison and require sex offender registration along with a 25-thousand dollar fine.
Eggman said that while she doesn’t want to see more people in prison, she thinks California needs to crack down on protecting minors. The bill currently sits in the Senate.
