An Act To Establish A Post-Conviction Review Process For Crimes Committed By Victims Of Sex Trafficking And Sexual Exploitation
Died in Possession of the Senate when the Legislature adjourned Sine Die and was PLACED IN THE LEGISLATIVE FILES. (DEAD)
Summary
The act lets a person convicted of a crime argue that the offense was a direct result of being trafficked or exploited, and seek reversal of the judgment and correction of court records. It applies to any defendant with a final judgment in Maine and provides a special hearing, presumptions, and appeal rights. The goal is to recognize the lack of culpability of trafficking victims and reduce the additional harm of keeping their convictions.
