Peruvian host backs bill criminalizing adult-minor unions as sexual slavery

Peruvian journalist Rosa María Palacios publicly endorsed a legislative proposal to impose up to 10 years in prison for adults in de facto unions with minors, framing such relationships as sexual slavery. The bill targets a practice that persists in some Peruvian regions, and Palacios also criticized the public exposure of underage victims of sexual violence. The proposal's legislative prospects and enforcement challenges remain uncertain.
