Attorney General Raul Torrez, Representative Dixon Announce Legislative Package to Strengthen Victims' Rights and Protect Human Trafficking Survivors
October 15, 2026
Proposals for the 2027 legislative session would eliminate the statute of limitations for human trafficking, strengthen protections for minors, and give crime victims greater control over pretrial defense interviews
-
Albuquerque, N.M. -- New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez and State Representative MeredithDixon (D-Albuquerque) today announced a legislative package aimed at strengthening protections for survivors of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation while expanding the rights of crime victims throughout the criminal justice process. Shelley Repp, executive director for the New Mexico Dream Center, Tracy Townsend, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Unica Behavioral Health and Camille Bowens, Forensic Interview Supervisor also at Unica Behavioral Health were present today in support of these legislative efforts.
The package includes two proposals for the 2027 legislative session, the TIME Act, which would close gaps in New Mexico's human trafficking laws and strengthen protections for minors, and a Victims' Rights Constitutional Amendment, which would give crime victims greater control over pretrial interviews with defense attorneys and provide additional protections for their personal information.
"As a prosecutor, I've seen firsthand how the criminal justice process can retraumatize survivors who have already endured unimaginable harm," said Attorney General Raul Torrez. "No victim should have to relive that trauma unnecessarily or face additional barriers to seeking justice. We have a responsibility to ensure our laws protect victims, respect their dignity, and hold perpetrators accountable."
"Survivors deserve a justice system that recognizes the trauma they have experienced and gives them the protections they need to come forward," said Representative Meredith Dixon. "These bills would remove barriers to prosecuting human trafficking, strengthen protections for children, and ensure victims have a meaningful voice in the legal process. I'm proud to carry this package and grateful to Attorney General Torrez, and the advocates who work every day to support survivors and help them rebuild their lives."
The TIME Act
The TIME Act would strengthen New Mexico's human trafficking and child sexual exploitation laws by:
* Eliminating the statute of limitations for prosecuting human trafficking.
* Raising the age of protection for child sexual exploitation from 16 to 18.
* Establishing a first-degree felony penalty when a human trafficking victim is under 18.
* Prohibiting certain defenses based on a victim's sexual history, a minor's purported consent, a mistake about age, or the use of a peace officer acting as a decoy.
* Preventing trafficking victims from being charged with prostitution or as accessories to trafficking-related offenses.
* Adding commercial sex trafficking to the sex offender registry, with lifetime registration when the victim is a minor.
Victims' Rights Constitutional Amendment
The proposed constitutional amendment would strengthen victims' rights during criminal proceedings by:
* Allowing victims to refuse pretrial interviews with defense attorneys or establish reasonable conditions for participating.
* Requiring defense attorneys to coordinate contact with victims through the prosecuting attorney's office.
* Protecting victims' addresses, phone numbers, and workplaces from disclosure to the accused, absent a court order.
* Allowing victims to have an advocate present during interviews and to end an interview at any time.
* Expanding the offenses covered by these protections to include robbery, stalking, assault and battery against a household member, and human trafficking.
"This legislative package would strengthen accountability for traffickers, close gaps in protections for children, and give victims greater control over how they participate in criminal proceedings," Torrez added. "I'm grateful to Representative Dixon for her leadership and to the advocates who work alongside survivors every day."
Summaries of the legislative proposals are below:

Attorney General Raul Torrez Leads Coalition of Attorneys General Urging Congress to Pass Epstein Files Transparency Act II
October 16, 2026
Albuquerque, NM - Attorney General Raul Torrez, along with Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, is leading a coalition of attorneys general in sending a letter to congressional leadership this week urging swift passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II (EFTA II). This legislation would give stateattorneys general and survivors the power to enforce the transparency Congress has demanded.
The letter, addressed to Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, expresses the attorneys general support for H.R. 9694 and its Senate companion, S. 5005.
Congress passed the original Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA I), which took effect November 19, 2025 (Public Law 119-38), to give survivors and the public access to the full investigative record of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. The law required the U.S. Department of Justice to make the files publicly available by December 19, 2025. Nearly a year later, the Department has not met that obligation. In Phang v. Blanche, a federal court in the District of Columbia noted that the Attorney General conceded he is in violation of the Act.
"The U.S. Department of Justice isn't just dodging our demands for the unredacted Epstein files, it is now trying to dismiss our lawsuit rather than turn over the records survivors and investigators are entitled to in the pursuit of justice," said Attorney General Raul Torrez. "Survivors deserve answers, not continued obstruction from a federal government with a responsibility to protect its citizens. We will continue fighting for the full, unredacted Epstein files and I urge Congress to pass EFTA II so states have the information they need to pursue justice for survivors of Epstein's horrific crimes."
According to the letter, the USDOJ released only a limited portion of the files on the December 19, 2025 deadline, and later disclosures also fell short. Millions of documents remain withheld, often on the basis of legal privilege. At the same time, a Wall Street Journal review found that the personal information of at least 43 victims was exposed in the files that were released, despite the protections written into EFTA I.
In the letter, the attorneys general emphasize that the shortfall affects states directly. State law enforcement and prosecutors need full access to unredacted investigative records, including relevant FBI 302 reports, to investigate and pursue matters within their jurisdictions. Survivors, meanwhile, continue to be denied closure and control over their own records.
EFTA II would:
* Create an expedited right of action. State attorneys general, authorized state officials, victims, and members of Congress would have explicit standing to sue the U.S. Attorney General in federal court for unlawfully withholding, delaying, or heavily redacting Epstein-related records.
* Protect survivor access. Victims would be guaranteed the right to access unredacted records about themselves and the harms they suffered.
* Eliminate evasions. DOJ would be barred from invoking common law privileges, such as the deliberative process privilege, to avoid the disclosure requirements Congress enacted.
* Enforce accountability. Federal officials who knowingly conceal, destroy, or improperly withhold mandated files would be subject to existing federal penalties.
The letter also notes that the pursuit of justice and public accountability transcends partisanship and urges Congress to act so that no federal agency places itself above the law.
Joining Attorney General Torrez, and co-lead states Arizona and Nevada, are the attorneys general of California, Delaware, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Oregon, Virginia, Vermont and Washington.

Final Report Regarding the August 12, 2025, Officer-Involved Shooting Incident in Keene, New Hampshire
Concord, NH - Attorney General John M. Formella announces the completion of the investigation into the officer-involved shooting that occurred on August 12, 2025, in Keene, New Hampshire, which resulted in the death of 57-year-old David Ward.
The final investigation report concludes that, based on the totality of the circumstances and all available evidence,including witness interviews, physical evidence, and video recordings, the use of deadly force by New Hampshire State Police Sergeant Noah Sanctuary, Sergeant Nicholas Levesque, Sergeant Aramus Caraballo, Trooper Matthew Dushame, and Trooper Jacob Hunt was objectively reasonable and legally justified under New Hampshire law.
The report concludes after comprehensively reviewing all the available evidence, that the troopers reasonably believed Mr. Ward presented an imminent threat of deadly force when he rapidly exited his vehicle while armed with a handgun following a prolonged standoff.

Attorney General Jones Puts Character.AI on Notice with Bankruptcy Court Filing
Emphasizes Protections for Virginia Consumers After Engaging in a Yearslong Investigation
-
RICHMOND, Va. - Attorney General Jay Jones announced that Virginia is joining a coalition of state attorneys general in filing a notice in the bankruptcy proceedings of Character Technologies, Inc., the company behind the popular chatbot company Character.AI. The court filing identifies serious concerns about thecompany's safety and privacy practices and calls for protections for children and consumers in any sale of the company's business or assets.
"Character.AI's chatbots raised serious concerns about health and safety, including chatbots which were not only allowed on the platform, but promoted to users, as 'therapists' and 'psychologists' despite serious risks these chatbots posed. Bankruptcy cannot be an escape hatch from responsibility, and we are working with Attorneys General across the country to ensure accountability," said Attorney General Jones.
Character.AI is an artificial intelligence chatbot platform that allows users to interact with AI-powered chatbot "characters" designed to mimic human conversation and relationships. These chatbot characters include fictional and celebrity personas, children's cartoon characters, and others that present themselves as psychologists, therapists, and doctors. Through chats with these characters, the company has collected sensitive consumer data, including private conversations about users' mental health, relationships, and emotional struggles.
Several states, including Virginia, began investigating Character.AI following a 2024 wrongful death lawsuit alleging that its chatbots fostered an emotionally and sexually exploitative relationship with a child, reinforced his suicidal thoughts, and contributed to his death by suicide. The states' investigation identified potential consumer protection and privacy violations.
The states' filing highlights the significant volume of sensitive consumer information held by Character.AI, including private chatbot conversations involving children and adults, and identifies privacy and safety protections that should be addressed in any sale or transfer of the company's business or assets.
Although Character.AI has recently voluntarily restricted minors' access to certain chatbot features, the states have raised concerns that these measures are not compulsory, incomplete, and could be circumvented or reversed by a future purchaser.
Virginia and the other states intend to remain actively engaged in the bankruptcy proceedings to protect consumers and address outstanding regulatory concerns. The states have reserved their rights to challenge any proposed sale or bankruptcy plan and to seek additional protections for consumers' personal information.
Joining Attorney General Jones on the court filing are the attorneys general of Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.

"Given the serious safety risks associated with Character.AI, New Jersey is joining a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general working to ensure that these bankruptcy proceedings prioritize the protection of consumers, and especially children," said Attorney General Davenport.

That information must not be treated as a commodity to be sold to the highest bidder without meaningful safeguards."
"Protecting the online privacy of New Jersey residents, particularly our children, is a responsibility we take seriously," said Christopher Peterson, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. "Character.AI has taken steps to mitigate the potential harms associated with its product. We want to ensure those safeguards are not compromised by the bankruptcy process and that any entity acquiring this data has robust safety and privacy protections in place."

The court filing identifies serious concerns about the company's safety and privacy practices and calls for protections for children and consumers inany sale of the company's business or assets.
"For years, Character.AI's chatbots exposed countless users - many of them children - to wildly inappropriate and dangerous content, all the while gathering up their sensitive personal data," said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. "As the company files for bankruptcy, we're going to work to ensure that this reckless conduct is reigned in and that Delawareans' private data is protected. We cannot afford to let the development of new technology come at the expense of our humanity."

AG Fitch Urges Court to Protect Children Online in Character.AI Bankruptcy Filing
(Jackson, Mississippi) Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced that Mississippi is joining a coalition of state attorneys general in filing a notice in the bankruptcy proceedings of Character Technologies, Inc. -- the company behind the popular chatbot company Character.AI.
The filing puts potential purchasers of Character.AI's technology and data on notice of the states' consumerprotection and privacy law concerns and asks the court "to ensure that any sale of any product, technology, or personal information includes terms of protection, particularly for children, and notifications to consumers of the protections they can expect." "We have seen Big Tech time and time again prioritize profits over the safety of our children," said Attorney General Lynn Fitch.
"Our investigation has uncovered ample evidence of the physical, mental, and emotional harm that these chatbots can cause. It has also demonstrated how much personal data is collected through individual interactions with chatbots. The companies that develop and market them cannot avoid accountability through bankruptcy. I am proud to stand with my colleagues to ensure that children have a voice in these proceedings."
Character.AI is an artificial intelligence chatbot platform that allows users to interact with AI-powered chatbot "characters" designed to mimic human conversation and relationships. These chatbot characters include fictional and celebrity personas, children's cartoon characters, and others that present themselves as psychologists, therapists, and doctors. Through chats with these characters, the company has collected sensitive consumer data, including private conversations about users' mental health, relationships, and emotional struggles.
Mississippi, along with other states, began investigating Character.AI following a 2024 wrongful death lawsuit alleging that its chatbots fostered an emotionally and sexually exploitative relationship with a child, reinforced his suicidal thoughts, and contributed to his death by suicide. As the attorneys general shared in their filing: "ParentsTogether Action and Heat Initiative logged 669 harmful interactions in 50 hours of chats from Character.AI accounts registered to children aged 12 to 15, about one every five minutes.
The largest category, with 296 instances, was grooming and sexual exploitation. Chatbots portraying adults flirted with, undressed, and simulated sex with child accounts. Some also told the children to hide the "relationship" from their parents. Other Charater.AI chatbots suggested armed robbery, offered marijuana to a 15-year-old, and told a 13-year-old to stop taking her antidepressant and hide it from her parents."
Joining Attorney General Fitch on the court filing are the attorneys general of Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
