Existing law defines and proscribes the crimes of human trafficking, solicitation, and prostitution. Existing law authorizes a court, in its discretion and in the interests of justice, to grant various forms of relief to a petitioner who completes conditions of probation, including the dismissal of the accusation or information against that person. Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain state summary criminal history information, and to furnish that information to specified entities for various purposes, including for purposes of fulfilling employment, licensing, and certification requirements. Existing law also authorizes the State Department of Social Services and county or licensed adoption agencies to secure a person's full criminal record in connection with an adoption application, as specified. This bill would provide that if a defendant has been convicted of solicitation or prostitution and has completed any term of probation for that conviction, the defendant may petition the court for relief if the defendant can establish by clear and convincing evidence that the conviction was the result of his or her status as a victim of human trafficking, and would authorize a court to issue an order that (1) sets forth a finding that the defendant was a victim of human trafficking, as specified, (2) dismisses the accusation or information against the defendant, or orders other relief, and (3) notifies the department that the defendant was a victim of human trafficking when he or she committed the crime and the relief that has been ordered. The bill would also exclude records of conviction for which the relief described above has been granted from the criminal records that may be disseminated for various purposes, including the full criminal record obtained in connection with an adoption application. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 11105 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 2404, to be operative only if AB 2404 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective January 1, 2015, and this bill is chaptered last.
