Existing law defines and proscribes the crimes of human trafficking, solicitation, and prostitution. Existing law also 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. This bill would provide that if a defendant has been convicted of solicitation or prostitution and can show that the conviction was the result of his or her status as a victim of human trafficking, he or she may petition for, and the court may 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, (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, and (4) prohibits the dissemination, for specified employment, licensing, and certification requirements, of the defendant's record of conviction.
