Legalize prostitution effort left candidate ‘shocked’ in blue state with rampant human trafficking

Michael Allen, a Republican candidate for Colorado attorney general, said he was "shocked" by a Democratic proposal to legalize prostitution, warning it would "open the floodgates" to human trafficking in Colorado.

"It's hard for me to even decipher why they've decided this is the time and place to introduce a radical bill like this," Allen said in an interview with Fox News Digital.

The bill, which sponsors said would "decriminalize adult commercial sexual activity," was introduced last month by Democratic state Sens.
