Providing remedies for defendant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking.
This bill creates new sentencing options for defendants who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking, if their crime was directly caused by the abuse. It allows courts to reduce jail time or other penalties, or to offer alternative sentences. The bill also allows certain survivors to ask a court to clear their past conviction records if the abuse was the primary cause of their crime.
