1  following the entry of a verdict or finding of guilty for one
2  or more offenses reported to have been committed as a result of
3  where the conviction was under Section 11-14 (prostitution) or

5  Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or a similar

12  Victims Protection Act (22 U.S.C. Section 7102(13)); provided
13  that:
14  (1) a motion under this Section shall state why the
15  facts giving rise to this motion were not presented to the
16  trial court, and shall be made with due diligence, after
17  the defendant has ceased to be a victim of such

1  the court, the violation was a result of the defendant having
2  been a victim of human trafficking. Determination of the
3  motion under this Section shall be by a preponderance of the
4  evidence. Evidence of such may include, but is not limited to:
5  (1) certified records of federal or State court
6  proceedings which demonstrate that the defendant was a
7  victim of a trafficker charged with a trafficking offense
8  under Section 10-9 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
9  Criminal Code of 2012, or under 22 U.S.C. Chapter 78;
10  (2) certified records of "approval notices" or "law
11  enforcement certifications" generated from federal
12  immigration proceedings available to such victims; or
13  (3) a sworn statement from a trained professional
14  staff of a victim services organization, an attorney, a
15  member of the clergy, or a medical or other professional
16  from whom the defendant has sought assistance in
17  addressing the trauma associated with being trafficked.
18  Alternatively, the court may consider such other evidence

20  determining whether the defendant is a trafficking victim or
21  victim of a severe form of trafficking.
22  (c) If the court grants a motion under this Section, it
23  must vacate the conviction and may take such additional action
24  as is appropriate in the circumstances.
