Summary

The law requires courts to impose specific bail restrictions on defendants accused of violent crimes, human trafficking or child sex trafficking. Defendants must not contact the victim, the victim’s family, or the victim’s school or workplace unless the victim gives consent, and they are barred from certain occupations that involve transportation, child care, or direct public contact. The goal is to protect victims and reduce the risk of further abuse while the case proceeds.
