 BILL NUMBER: AB 1761INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Weber (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Santiago) FEBRUARY 2, 2016 An act to add Section 1107.5 to the Evidence Code, and to amend Sections 236.1 and 11105 of, and to add Section 236.23 to, the Penal Code, relating to human trafficking. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1761, as introduced, Weber. Human trafficking: victims: affirmative defense. (1) Under existing law, as amended by Proposition 35, an initiative measure approved by the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election, a person who deprives or violates another person's personal liberty with the intent to obtain forced labor or services or who deprives or violates another person's personal liberty for the purpose of prostitution or sexual exploitation is guilty of human trafficking, a felony. Proposition 35 provides that it may be amended by a statute in furtherance of its objectives by a majority of the membership of each house of the Legislature concurring. This bill would create an affirmative defense against a charge of a nonviolent crime that was committed as a direct result of being a human trafficking victim. The bill would create an affirmative defense to any crime not punishable by death that the defendant committed as a result of duress created by a person who deprived or violated the personal liberty of the defendant. The bill would require the court to dismiss any charges arising from a commercial sex act against a person who was under 18 years of age, whether or not the defendant asserts the affirmative defense. The bill would grant a defendant who prevails on that affirmative defense the right to have all records in the case sealed and to be released from all penalties and disabilities, as provided. The bill would define "human trafficking victim" and "nonviolent crime" for these purposes. (2) Existing law makes expert testimony regarding intimate partner battering and its effects admissible in a criminal action. This bill would make expert testimony regarding the effect of human trafficking on a human trafficking victim admissible in a criminal action. (3) Existing law requires the Attorney General to compile and disseminate state summary criminal history information pertaining to the identification and criminal history of any person. This bill would require the Attorney General to exclude from the state summary criminal history information to exclude any charge or conviction for which relief has been granted pursuant to the provisions of this bill. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 1107.5 is added to the Evidence Code, to read: 1107.5. (a) In a criminal action, expert testimony is admissible by either the prosecution or the defense regarding the effects of human trafficking on human trafficking victims, including the nature and effect of physical, emotional, or mental abuse on the beliefs, perceptions, or behavior of human trafficking victims. (b) The foundation shall be sufficient for admission of this expert testimony if the proponent of the evidence establishes its relevancy and the proper qualifications of the expert witness. Expert opinion testimony on the effects of human trafficking on victims shall not be considered a new scientific technique whose reliability is unproven. (c) For purposes of this section, "human trafficking victim" is defined in Section 236.1 of the Penal Code. (d) This section is intended as a rule of evidence only and no substantive change affecting the Penal Code is intended. SEC. 2. Section 236.1 of the Penal Code is amended to read: 236.1. (a)  Any   A  person who deprives or violates the personal liberty of another with the intent to obtain forced labor or services, is guilty of human trafficking and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 5, 8, or 12 years and a fine of not more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). (b)  Any   A  person who deprives or violates the personal liberty of another with the intent to effect or maintain a violation of Section 266, 266h, 266i, 266j, 267, 311.1, 311.2, 311.3, 311.4, 311.5, 311.6, or 518 is guilty of human trafficking and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 8, 14, or 20 years and a fine of not more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). (c)  Any   A  person who causes, induces, or persuades, or attempts to cause, induce, or persuade, a person who is a minor at the time of commission of the offense to engage in a commercial sex act, with the intent to effect or maintain a violation of Section 266, 266h, 266i, 266j, 267, 311.1, 311.2, 311.3, 311.4, 311.5, 311.6, or 518 is guilty of human trafficking. A violation of this subdivision is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison as follows: (1) Five, 8, or 12 years and a fine of not more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). (2) Fifteen years to life and a fine of not more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) when the offense involves force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace, or threat of unlawful injury to the victim or to another person. (d) In determining whether a minor was caused, induced, or persuaded to engage in a commercial sex act, the totality of the circumstances, including the age of the victim, his or her relationship to the trafficker or agents of the trafficker, and any handicap or disability of the victim, shall be considered. (e) Consent by a victim of human trafficking who is a minor at the time of the commission of the offense is not a defense to a criminal prosecution under this section. (f) Mistake of fact as to the age of a victim of human trafficking who is a minor at the time of the commission of the offense is not a defense to a criminal prosecution under this section. (g) The Legislature finds that the definition of human trafficking in this section is equivalent to the federal definition of a severe form of trafficking found in Section  7102(8)   7102(9)  of Title 22 of the United States Code. (h) For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions apply: (1) "Coercion" includes  any   a  scheme, plan, or pattern intended to cause a person to believe that failure to perform an act would result in serious harm to or physical restraint against any person; the abuse or threatened abuse of the legal process; debt bondage; or providing and facilitating the possession of  any   a  controlled substance to a person with the intent to impair the person's judgment. (2) "Commercial sex act" means sexual conduct on account of which anything of value is given or received by any person. (3) "Deprivation or violation of the personal liberty of another" includes substantial and sustained restriction of another's liberty accomplished through force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace, or threat of unlawful injury to the victim or to another person, under circumstances where the person receiving or apprehending the threat reasonably believes that it is likely that the person making the threat would carry it out. (4) "Duress" includes a direct or implied threat of force, violence, danger, hardship, or retribution sufficient to cause a reasonable person to acquiesce in or perform an act which he or she would otherwise not have submitted to or performed; a direct or implied threat to destroy, conceal, remove, confiscate, or possess any actual or purported passport or immigration document of the victim; or knowingly destroying, concealing, removing, confiscating, or possessing any actual or purported passport or immigration document of the victim. (5) "Forced labor or services" means labor or services that are performed or provided by a person and are obtained or maintained through force, fraud, duress, or coercion, or equivalent conduct that would reasonably overbear the will of the person. (6) "Great bodily injury" means a significant or substantial physical injury.  (7) "Human trafficking victim" means a person who is a victim of the acts described in subdivisions (a), (b), or (c).   (7)   (8)  "Minor" means a person less than 18 years of age.  (8)   (9)  "Serious harm" includes any harm, whether physical or nonphysical, including psychological, financial, or reputational harm, that is sufficiently serious, under all the surrounding circumstances, to compel a reasonable person of the same background and in the same circumstances to perform or to continue performing labor, services, or commercial sexual acts in order to avoid incurring that harm.  (10) "Nonviolent crime" means any crime or offense other than murder, attempted murder, voluntary manslaughter, mayhem, kidnaping, rape, robbery, arson, carjacking, or any other violent felony as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5.  (i) The total circumstances, including the age of the victim, the relationship between the victim and the trafficker or agents of the trafficker, and any handicap or disability of the victim, shall be factors to consider in determining the presence of "deprivation or violation of the personal liberty of another," "duress," and "coercion" as described in this section. SEC. 3. Section 236.23 is added to the Penal Code, to read: 236.23. (a) (1) It is a defense to a charge of a nonviolent crime that the defendant or minor committed the offense as a direct result of being a human trafficking victim. (2) It is a defense to a charge of any crime not punishable by death that the defendant committed the offense as a direct result of duress created by a person who has deprived or violated the personal liberty of the defendant within the meaning of subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 236.1. (b) A defendant asserting the affirmative defense specified in subdivision (a) has the burden of establishing the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence. (c) A person charged with a crime constituting or arising from a commercial sex act, including violation of subdivision (b) of Section 647 or Section 653.22, who was under 18 years of age at the time of the offense shall be conclusively presumed to have committed the offense as a direct result of being a victim of human trafficking. (d) The court shall independently determine whether the conditions set forth in subdivision (c) are met and, if so, find that the affirmative defense applies to the charge and to dismiss it, whether or not the defendant asserts the affirmative defense. (e) Certified records of a federal, state, tribal, or local court or governmental agency documenting the person's status as a victim of human trafficking at the time of the offense, including identification of a victim of human trafficking by a peace officer pursuant to Section 236.2 and certified records of approval notices or enforcement certifications generated from federal immigration proceedings, create a rebuttable presumption that an offense was committed by the defendant as a direct result of being a human trafficking victim. (f) The affirmative defense may be asserted at any time before the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or admission to the truth of the charges and prior to conclusion of any trial for the offense. If asserted before the preliminary hearing held in a case, the affirmative defense shall, upon request by the defendant, be determined at the preliminary hearing. (g) If the defendant prevails on the affirmative defense provided under subdivision (a) or if the court dismisses charges under subdivision (c), the defendant is entitled to all of the following relief: (1) The court shall order that all records in the case be sealed pursuant to Section 851.86 and shall grant the relief provided in subdivision (b) of Section 851.8. (2) The victim shall be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the charge, and all actions and proceedings by law enforcement personnel, courts, or other government employees that led to the charge shall be deemed not to have occurred. (3) (A) The human trafficking victim may in all circumstances state that he or she has never been arrested for, or charged with, the crime that is the subject of the charge or conviction, including without limitation in response to questions on employment, housing, financial aid, or loan applications. (B) The human trafficking victim may not be denied rights or benefits, including without limitation employment, housing, financial aid, welfare, or a loan or other financial accommodation, based on the arrest or charge or the human trafficking victim's failure or refusal to disclose the existence of or information concerning those events. (C) The human trafficking victim may not be thereafter charged or convicted of perjury or otherwise of giving a false statement by reason of having failed to disclose or acknowledge the existence of the charge, or any arrest, indictment, trial, or other proceedings related thereto. (h) If, in any proceeding pursuant to Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, the juvenile court finds that the offense on which the proceeding is based was committed as a direct result of the minor being a human trafficking victim, the court shall dismiss the proceeding and order the relief prescribed in Section 786 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
