(Olympia, WA) -- State Senator Pam Roach is no longer a member of a state task force on human trafficking. Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen removed the Pierce County Republican from the task force, saying he received complaints about comments made during a task-force meeting last month, including an accusation that she said sexually-trafficked minors "probably spend their money on drugs." Roach insists she said nothing she needs to apologize for and says Owen didn't attend the meeting in question. She told "The Olympian" she's worked on several bills regarding sex trafficking, and is well qualified to serve on the task force.
