Increase penalties for child sexual slavery.

This Act may be cited as the 'Child Sexual Slavery Prevention Act of 2008'. The United States Sentencing Commission shall amend the Federal sentencing guidelines and policy statements so as to achieve the following:

• increase the base levels [of sentencing for human trafficking]
• add a special offense characteristic based on the age of the victim if that age is under 18 years, and increase the base levels by 6 for that characteristic; and
• add a special offense characteristic increasing the penalties by 4 levels if the intent of the defendant was to enslave the victim for the purpose of sexual acts.
