Existing law, as amended by the Californians Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE) Act, an initiative measure enacted by the approval of Proposition 35 at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election, proscribes the crime of human trafficking. A person who deprives or violates the personal liberty of another with the intent to obtain forced labor or services, or to effect or maintain a violation of various felony or misdemeanor offenses, including offenses relating to prostitution, child pornography, as specified, or extortion, as defined, is guilty of human trafficking. 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 various felony or misdemeanor offenses, is also guilty of human trafficking. This bill would make a person who is convicted of a violation of that prohibition subject to a penalty enhancement of one additional year in the state prison, to be served consecutive to any other term imposed by the court, if it is found that he or she recruited, enticed, or obtained the victim from a shelter or placement that is designed to serve runaway youth, foster children, homeless persons, or victims of human trafficking or domestic violence. The bill would also make technical and nonsubstantive conforming changes. By increasing the penalty for an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
