Past practice punished prostituted people instead of those who caused the harm: the sex buyers. The cycle of prostitution-related crime and sex trafficking persisted and victims continued to be harmed .. People are typically coerced into prostitution between the ages of 12-15, and are controlled by pimps, experience multiple traumas, and face many barriers to escaping prostitution. The new model therefore emphasizes prosecuting sex buyers and connecting prostituted people to services. Our goal is to reduce demand for commercial sex by 20% in two years. Reducing demand will decrease harm to prostituted persons, reduce self-destructive behaviors of buyers, and curb sex trafficking in our community. The team is composed of the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, the Organization for Prostitution Survivors, Seattle Against Slavery, Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking, and the Seattle City Attorney's Office, as well as police agencies around the county. Interventions include: .._ Systematic law enforcement emphasis on arrests and prosecutions of sex buyers. Increased penalties to deter buyers . .._ Referring sex buyers to "Stopping Sexual Exploitation," a comprehensive intervention program . .._ Collection of fines to fund services for prostituted people. .._ Reducing arrests and prosecutions of prostituted persons in favor of referral to services. Expansion of effective services to assist prostituted people in leaving the life. .._ Forming an alliance of public and private employers committed to implementing policies and practices against sex buying .._ Engaging high school and college students on the harm of commercial sexual exploitation. .._ Using social media to engage young men on the harms of sex buying . .._ Engaging a spectrum of community sectors, including public health, education, business, media and criminal justice to change cultural norms around buying sex. Project Details and Coordinators: This project is made possible by a grant from Demand Abolition, an organization committed to eradicating the illegal commercial sex industry in the US by combating the demand for purchased sex. Demand Abolition has launched a multi-stakeholder national strategy called CEASE (Cities Empowered Against Sexual Exploitation). The program promotes demand-reduction interventions that are respectful, pragmatic, sustainable and effective.

Below is most of what I said: Bob must have passed this on, I received this email from the E.D. of WACDL Teresa Mathis Below is there argument against: CON: Current laws are sufficiently draconian and harsh in their penalties for patronizing prostitutes. Persons arrested for patronizing are usually arrested when law enforcement conducts sting operations which do not involve anyone victimized by prostitution. This is a fraction of the persons who patronize prostitutes. Instead of sting operations, law enforcement should go out on the streets to enforce the law. Where is the proof that focusing on demand will reduce crime? I will discuss this with a defense attorney I happened to know. I think we should respond with data and info from Sweden. I am getting the rest of my letters out tonight and will address this in those letters. But I am out of town the rest of the week and will not be able to respond WACDL. Do you think we should- if so could one of you do this - or any other suggestions.

SWOP, the Sex Workers Outreach Project, claims to be "dedicated to the fundamental human rights of sex workers,'' "harm reduction," and providing "resources for sex workers." But what services have they provided? They have articulated none in the Stranger or the Seattle W eeldy or to the Legislature. And yet, it's not like they don't have the money. A quick scan of SWOP's national website shows they are funded the sex industry: Eros, Craigslist, and Slixa, all sites where people are sold for sex every day. Don't believe me? Last year nearly 40 men were arrested trying to buy children in stings conducted on Craigslist alone. Perhaps instead of helping exploited people, that money is funding their campaign against reasonable efforts to reduce the harmful and violent sex industry by holding sex buyers accountable. SWOP's main target according to the Seattle Weekly is a bill in the Legislature that would have "severely" raised the crime of purchasing an adult for sex from the equivalent of fishing without a license to a DUI. The impact of this bill on sex workers is hard to fathom, but the impact on the business who fund SWOP is crystal clear: no buyers means no business. SWOP asks the community to just focus on child prostitution and sex trafficking, but not the consensual good times where "boys can be boys." But they ignore the fact that sex trafficking is created by sex buying: sex buyers create the demand and pimps, traffickers or desperate circumstances create a supply by force, fraud or coercion. And how is a buyer to know if the woman he is buying has been trafficked? He is paying for his fantasy-a smiling, seductive, willing object to fulfill his desires. He's not paying to hear about exploitation. And it's not like the exploited woman would share her story-her job is to make money for her pimp or risk a beating. Spilling her heart to the john will do nothing but get her in trouble. SWOP's response to this has been that efforts to go after sex buyers have the unintended consequences of targeting and stigmatizing sex workers. Who are the legions of"voluntary" sex workers under attack? Unknown, because SWOP was apparently unable to provide an estimate to the Stranger on how many consensual sex workers there are. And yet, while we don't know how many "voluntary" sex workers there are, we do know that there are 300-500 children in prostitution in our community, not to mention untold numbers of adult women forced and coerced into prostitution. But more importantly, rather than targeting sex workers, the opposite is true. For example, the King County Prosecutors Office has adopted a policy not to file charges against an adult for prostitution unless that person has first been referred to services-services that the prosecutor's office helped to establish. This means that prosecutors are working with the community to actually reduce arrests, reduce prosecutions, increase access to services and scale back the stigma that has stalked prostituted people for decades. The Seattle City Attorney's Office has been adopting similar progressive approaches to prostituted people. KC-DemandAbolition-094042 The real problem of course is that services alone won't solve the problem. When one exploited person is guided to services, pimps and traffickers are already moving on to their next target. The business of selling sex is absurdly lucrative and as long as there is a demand for paid sex, there will be exploitation. The better path to harm reduction is harm elimination through a combination of services with a reduction in sex buying so that exploiting people is not such a financial windfall: no buyers, no business. The principle is so obvious, it has prompted others to ask "Why aren't we doing this?" (Link to Sweden article). We can argue over which women do or don't agency and are consenting to being bought. But what really matters is that we know the men buying sex have agency. They are the ones freely driving this industry. The reality is that it will be very hard to eliminate all exploitation. But the greatest chance of success is intervention on a number of fronts: provide services to those who need them, reduce the demand for sex so that exploitation is reduced, provide education and meaningful job opportunities so that vulnerable populations actually have real choices. SWOP has been complaining endlessly about going after the buyers who are responsible for child prostitution and sex trafficking. One has to ask if they are really interested in harm reduction or simply protecting the almighty dollar, particularly the millions (or, rather, billions) of dollars flowing to the sex industry. SWOP will read this and they will shout that we are interfering with their right to work. But the first right of a woman is the right to choose not to prostitute. To have choices beyond selling her body or suffering a beating. To have choices beyond rape, PTSD and murder. To have choices beyond mere survival. It's time to look in the mirror, SWOP, and ask yourselves whose side you are really on? The survivors on our team don't like to publicly disagree because it draws attention away from the cause of the harm-the sex buyers. And yet that is exactly what SWOP and Ms. Brownstein have done by trying to distinguish prostitution from trafficking. The unmet demand for prostitution is what creates the trafficking. Ms. Brownstein characterized Dr. Farrelly as an "anti-prostitution activist." If you had seen and heard what Dr. Farrelly has seen and heard about the harms of prostitution, you would be antiprostitution. We should all be anti-prostitution.

Value of the bill: - It will help to deter sex buyers: buyers consistently report that jail time is among the most feared punishments and would deter them from engaging in the conduct - It will encourage police to focus on arresting buyers because it is a more serious offense - It will help prosecutors by improving our response to buyers. Some of these buyers purchase sex dozens or even hundreds of times (one man we caught estimated he had bought sex 1000 times; it was his first and only arrest), yet under current law are subjected to a maximum of only 90 days in jail. - It will by improving our leverage over convicted buyers. We only have one shot with these buyers and increasing the classification of sex buying to a gross misdemeanor increases our leverage to ensure that sex buyers comply with court-ordered treatment and educational programming that is required by statute. - Classifying sex buying as a more serious offense than selling sends an important message not only to the buyers, but to the community, that buying is harmful and that the buyers are the only ones in these transactions who always have free choice in their actions.

I'm sad to tell you this. That said, I must also tell you that what stands out for me is the following: we did an amazing job and we made amazing progress. Despite everyone's extremely busy schedules, we all took the time to do the work when it needed doing. We pulled together. Along the way we educated many legislators. We've learned more about the opposition and where it lies. We have new allies, and we've refined our strategies and our own thinking. And we made it through the Senate unanimously, and out of the House exec commmittee. We have paved the way for next time. True social change is incremental, and our efforts over the past few weeks is a major increment-both on SB 5277 and HB 2668, the vacate bill. While we would have preferred that these bills pass this session, I truly believe that when it comes to the enormity of the type of social change we are working toward, success cannot be measured merely by passfail type events. Rather, it is truly measured by the effort itself, the fact that the effort was made, and by its continuing-by the indefatigability of all those who made and continue to make the effort. So in that light, congratulations, not condolences, are in order. Congratulations to us all for our great efforts, on this bill and everything else we do in our work. I'm glad to know you and be working with you.

Jones 2 3 4 5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 8 9 10 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 11 Plaintiff, GOVERNMENT'S MOTION IN LIMINE TO EXCLUDE EVIDENCE OF VICTIMS' OTHER SEXUAL BEHAVIOR AND SEXUAL PREDISPOSITION 12 13 14 v. ROBERT RYAN POWELL, 15 16 NO. CR15-244-RAJ Noting Date: January 29, 2016 Defendant. 17 18 The United States of America, by and through Annette L. Hayes, United States 19 Attorney for the Western District of Washington, and Catherine L. Crisham and Amy 20 Jaquette, Assistant United States Attorneys for said District, hereby moves the Court, 21 22 23 pursuant to Rules 412 and 403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, to exclude at trial any evidence, in any form, relating to the sexual behavior or sexual predisposition of the government's lay witnesses, including, but not limited to, other acts of prostitution that 24 allegedly occurred before and after the dates alleged in the Indictment and which are not 25 directly at issue in this case. INTRODUCTION Defendant Robert Powell is charged in a four_count Superseding Indictment with 28 two counts of interstate transportation of two juveniles for the purpose of prostitution, in U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 1 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094075 1 violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2423(a) (Counts One and Two), one 2 count of sex trafficking an adult victim through force, fraud, and coercion, in violation of 3 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1591 (Count Three), and one count of interstate 4 transportation of an adult victim for the purpose of prostitution through coercion and 5 enticement, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2422 (Count Four). See 6 Docket No. 32. These charges stem from the Defendant's criminal conduct with respect 7 to two juvenile victims, referred to in the Superseding Indictment as C.C. and N.C., and 8 one adult victim, referred to in the Superseding Indictment as B.M. Specifically, the 9 Superseding Indictment alleges that the Defendant transported C.C. and N.C. from 10 Washington State to San Jose, California, with the intent that they engage in prostitution. 11 Defendant is further charged with using force, fraud, and coercion to compel B.M. to 12 engage in commercial sex acts and with transporting B.M. across state lines for the 13 purpose of prostitution. 14 Trial is scheduled for February 22, 2016, and the government anticipates that C.C., 15 N.C., and B.M. will testify as witnesses for the government. The government moves in 16 limine for an order precluding the defense from (1) seeking to elicit, from any witness, 17 evidence offered to prove that any witness, including C.C., N.C., and B.M., allegedly 18 engaged in other sexual behavior, to include commercial sex acts before or after being 19 trafficked by Defendant; (2) questioning C.C., N.C., and B.M. about their prior or 20 subsequent prostitution activity unrelated to Defendant; and (3) otherwise referencing 21 such inadmissible evidence during voir dire, opening statements, and closing arguments. 1 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 Rule 412(c) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, which is designed to protect the victims, the Court, and the prosecution from surprise, requires a party seeking to introduce such evidence to file a motion under seal at least fourteen days before trial describing the evidence to be offered and its intended purpose. Failure to comply with this procedure results in exclusion of the evidence absent a showing of good cause. See, e.g., United States v. Romane, 218 F.3d 1229, 1235-36 (10th Cir. 2000). Nothing in the Rule, however, states that the govermnent cannot seek to exclude the evidence prior to receiving this formal notice. Nor does the Rule preclude the Court from excluding the evidence at this time under Rule 403. U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 Govermnent' s Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 2 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094076 1 ARGUMENT 2 A. 3 4 The Court Should Exclude Evidence of the Victims' Other Sexual Behavior and Alleged Sexual Predisposition Pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 412 Rule 412 of the Federal Rules of Evidence is a rule of exclusion that imposes 5 significant limitations on the admissibility of "evidence relating to [a] victim's other 6 sexual behavior or alleged sexual predisposition, whether offered as substantive evidence 7 or for impeachment." See Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee Note to 1994 8 Amendments. It takes precedence over other Federal Rules of Evidence, including Rules 9 402, 404(b), 405, 607, 608, and 609. Id. The purpose of the Rule is to "safeguard ... 10 victim[ s] against the invasion of privacy, potential embarrassment and sexual 11 stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the 12 infusion of sexual innuendo into the fact finding process,'' and thereby "encourage[] 13 victims of sexual misconduct to institute and participate in legal proceedings against 14 alleged offenders." Id; see also United States v. Cephus, 684 F.3d 703, 708 (7th Cir. 15 2012) (Posner, J.) ("If admissible, such evidence would deter many victims of sexual 16 abuse from testifying .... "). 17 Rule 412 accomplishes this purpose by barring evidence of a victim's "other 18 sexual behavior" or alleged "sexual predisposition" from being introduced at trial, except 19 in three narrow circumstances, which are discussed below. The phrase "sexual 20 predisposition,'' as it is used in Rule 412, includes "evidence that ... the proponent 21 believes may have a sexual connotation for the fact finder,'' such as "the alleged victim's 22 mode of dress, speech, or lifestyle." Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee Note to 23 1994 Amendments. Likewise, the phrase "sexual behavior" includes "all activities that 24 involve actual physical conduct, i.e., sexual intercourse and sexual contact or that imply 25 sexual intercourse or sexual contact." Id. The word "other" refers to all other sexual 26 behavior that is not at issue in the case. See id ("The word 'other' is used to suggest 27 some flexibility in admitting evidence 'intrinsic' to the alleged sexual misconduct"); see 28 also United States v. Torres, 937 F.2d 1469, 1472 (9th Cir. 1991) (construing phrase U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 3 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094077 1 "past sexual behavior" in older version of Rule 412 to include "all sexual behavior of the 2 victim ... which precedes the date of the trial"). 3 As set forth below, myriad federal courts have concluded that evidence that a sex- 4 trafficking victim engaged in prostitution before or after her encounter with the defendant 5 is generally inadmissible under Rule 412(a). See, e.g., Cephus, 684 F.3d at 708 6 (upholding exclusion of evidence that adult victim had worked as prostitute prior to being 7 recruited by defendant in sex trafficking case); United States v. Elbert, 561 F.3d 771, 8 777-78 (8th Cir. 2009) (upholding exclusion of evidence that victim had engaged in 9 commercial sex acts before and after encounter with defendant); United States v. 10 Graham, 2013 WL 321568, *4 (W.D.N.Y. Jan. 28, 2013) (excluding evidence of victims' 11 alleged involvement in commercial sex acts before and after time with defendant on 12 grounds that "evidence that these [v]ictims may have engaged in other acts of prostitution 13 does not contradict their testimony that the [d]efendant transported, maintained or 14 recruited them on the occasions charged in the superseding indictment, and questions 15 about a witness's sexual morals is not a proper basis for impeachment"); United States v. 16 Shamsud-Din, 2011WL5118840, *4 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 27, 2011) (excluding "evidence of 17 prior and post prostitution activities" on grounds that such evidence "is the equivalent of 18 propensity evidence" and is "irrelevant to the charges" of sex trafficking). 19 B. The Narrow Exceptions Set Forth in Fed. R. Evid. 412(b) Do Not Apply 20 Rule 412(b) outlines three narrow exceptions to this general rule of exclusion. If 21 the Defendant intends to introduce evidence of a victim's other sexual behavior or 22 alleged sexual predisposition under one of these exceptions, he must file a sealed motion 23 fourteen days before trial that "specifically describes the evidence and states the purpose 24 for which it is to be offered." Fed. R. Evid. 412( c). Failure to do so without good cause 25 should result in automatic exclusion. United States v. Romane, 218 F.3d 1229, 1235-36 26 (10th Cir. 2000). 27 As noted above, Rule 412 is subject to three narrow exceptions. Pursuant to Rule 28 412(b ), the Court "may admit" the following: (A) "evidence of specific instances of a U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 4 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094078 I victim's sexual behavior, if offered to prove that someone other than the defendant was 2 the source of semen, injury, or other physical evidence;" (B) "evidence of specific 3 instances of a victim's sexual behavior with respect to the person accused of the sexual 4 misconduct, if offered by the defendant to prove consent;" and (C) "evidence whose 5 exclusion would violate the defendant's constitutional rights." None of these exceptions 6 apply here. 7 The first two exceptions under Rule 412(b )(l)(A) and (B) do not apply because 8 the Defendant is charged with transporting C.C., N.C., and B.M. across state lines for the 9 purpose of prostitution, and using force, fraud and coercion to compel B.M.to engage in 10 commercial sex acts, with individuals other than the Defendant. See Elbert, 561 F.3d at 11 776 (noting these exceptions did not apply because defendant was not charged with 12 sexually assaulting victims). There is no issue regarding the source of any semen, injury, 13 or physical evidence with respect to any sexual acts between the Defendant and the 14 victims. Nor has the Defendant been charged with engaging in any type of sexual act 15 with any of the victims. Even if such issues existed, evidence relating to a victim's other 16 acts of prostitution before or after her encounter with the Defendant is irrelevant and 17 unfairly prejudicial, as explained below. See Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee 18 Notes ("Evidence offered for the specific purpose identified in this subdivision may still 19 be excluded if it does not satisfy Rules 401or403."). 20 The third narrow exception under Rule 4 l 2(b )(I)( C) also does not apply because 21 exclusion of the evidence would not violate the Defendant's rights under the Fifth and 22 Sixth Amendments to introduce evidence in his defense. See United States v. Culver, 598 23 F.3d 740, 749 (I Ith Cir. 2010). A defendant is "not constitutionally entitled to present 24 irrelevant evidence,'' Doe v. United States, 666 F.2d 43, 47 (4th Cir. 1981), and "[t]he 25 Confrontation Clause only requires admission of probative evidence,'' Elbert, 561 F.3d at 26 777. Moreover, a defendant's right to introduce evidence is "not without limitation" and 27 must "bow to accommodate other legitimate interests,'' such as safeguarding a victim 28 against the invasion of privacy and harassment. Michigan v. Lucas, 500 U.S. 145, 149 U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 5 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094079 1 (1991). As the Supreme Court has recognized, "trial judges retain wide latitude ... to 2 impose reasonable limits on [testimony] based on concerns about, among other things, 3 harassment, prejudice, confusion of the issues, the witness' safety, or interrogation that is 4 repetitive or only marginally relevant." Delaware v. VanArsdall, 475 U.S. 673, 679 5 (1986). 6 Evidence in this case concerning C.C., N.C., and B.M. 's alleged sexual 7 predisposition and other sexual behavior, including evidence of any umelated 8 commercial sex acts, is entirely irrelevant to the charges against the Defendant. United 9 States v. Davila, 704 F.2d 749, 753 (5th Cir. 1983) ("[W]hatever probative value lay in 10 the evidence as to possible prostitution was minuscule, and the potential for confusion 11 was substantial."); see also United States v. Powell, 226 F.3d 1181, 1199 (10th Cir. 2000) 12 (holding that evidence offered to support defense that victim consented to travel with 13 defendant and to rebut inferences that victim was sexually naive, innocent, and 14 unsophisticated prior to her alleged kidnapping was not relevant and properly excluded 15 under Rule 412). The Defendant should not be permitted to present or cross-examine the 16 victims about such evidence. 17 This case is similar to United States v. Cephus, where the Seventh Circuit affirmed 18 the district court's decision to exclude evidence in a sex trafficking case that an adult 19 victim had worked as a prostitute before being recruited by the defendant. 684 F.3d at 20 708. The Cephus Court explained its conclusion as follows: 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 [The defendant] wanted to suggest that having already been a prostitute [the victim] would not have been deceived by [him] and therefore her testimony that she was coerced into working for him . . . should be disbelieved. But the testimony sought to be elicited by the cross-examination would have been irrelevant. Even if no promises were made to [the victim], this would not be evidence that she consented to be beaten and to receive no share of the fees paid by the johns she serviced. And even if she knew going in, from her prior experience, that [the defendant] probably would beat her, it was still a crime for him to do so. And finally the fact that U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 6 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094080 1 she'd been a prostitute before does not suggest that he didn't beat and threaten her - that was his modus operandi and there's no evidence that he would have made an exception for [the victim]. 2 3 4 Id. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Similarly, in United States v. Elbert, the Eighth Circuit rejected a defendant's argument that the exclusion of evidence that a minor victim had worked as a prostitute before and after her encounter with the defendant violated his constitutional right to present a "far more powerful defense." 561 F.3d at 777-78. In reaching its decision, the court appropriately noted that "[w]hether the children engaged in acts of prostitution before or after their encounters with [the defendant] is irrelevant, and would only prove other people may be guilty of similar offenses of recruiting, enticing, or causing these victims to engage in a commercial sex act." Id. at 778 (emphasis added). The Eighth Circuit recently reaffirmed these principles in United States v. Roy, 781F.3d416 (8th Cir. 2015). In affirming a district court's ruling to exclude evidence of prior and subsequent sexual history in a sex trafficking prosecution under Section 1591, the Roy Court held that: At issue here is not recruiting an individual to engage in commercial sex for the first time, but doing an act with the use of force, threats, fraud, or coercion to cause the victim to engage in commercial sex. The victim's participation in prostitution either before or after the time period in the indictment has no relevance to whether [the defendant] beat her, threatened her, and took the money she made from prostitution in order to cause her to engage in commercial sex. Id at 420 (emphasis added). As in Cephus, Elbert, and Roy, evidence that C.C., N.C., or B.M. may have engaged in commercial sex acts before or after their time with the Defendant is entirely irrelevant to the question of whether he committed the crimes charged and the Defendant does not have a constitutional right to present it to the jury. Put differently, the Defendant committed these crimes regardless of the victims' prior or subsequent commercial sex acts. Nothing about those acts makes it more or less likely that the U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 7 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbol ition-094081 1 Defendant transported C.C., N.C., and B.M. across state lines for the purpose of 2 prostitution, or that the Defendant used force, fraud, or coercion to cause B.M. to engage 3 in commercial sex acts. See United States v. Williams, 564 Fed. Appx. 568, 577 (11th 4 Cir. 2014) ("We agree with the court below that the girls' involvement in prostitution 5 after [the defendant's] arrest bears no relevance to the criminal activity perpetrated by 6 [the defendant]."); see also United States v. Valenzuela, 495 Fed. Appx. 817, 819-20 (9th 7 Cir. 2012) ("Appellants cannot show the relevance of questions about prior prostitution to 8 either Appellants' knowledge of the use of force, fraud, or coercion, or the victims' 9 consent to work in prostitution."). 2 Put simply, consent in one situation does not equate to consent in the other. See 10 11 Jones v. Goodwin, 982 F.2d 464, 471 (11th Cir. 1993) ("A woman's consensual sexual 12 activities with certain individuals in no way imply consent to similar activities with 13 others"); United States v. Saunders, 943 F.2d 388, 392 (4th Cir. 1991) ("[I]t is intolerable 14 to suggest that because [a] victim is a prostitute, she automatically is assumed to have 15 consented with anyone at any time"). Regardless of what C.C., N.C., or B.M. chose to do 16 with their lives before or after the charged time period, it was still a crime for the 17 Defendant to transport them across state lines for the purpose of prostitution, and for him 18 to recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide, or obtain B.M. knowing that force, fraud, or 19 coercion would be used to cause her to engage in commercial sex acts. 20 21 Furthermore, impeaching a victim's truthfulness is not a recognized exception to Rule 412. United States v. Withorn, 204 F.3d 790, 795 (8th Cir. 2000). Evidence of a 22 victim's alleged sexual predisposition, other sexual behavior, and umelated prostitution 23 acts has no bearing on a victim's credibility. See, e.g., Elbert, 561 F.3d at 777 24 ("[U]nchastity of a victim has no relevance whatsoever to [the victim's] credibility as a 25 26 27 28 2 The force of this reasoning is obvious in the forced labor context, see 18 U.S.C. § 1589. The fact that a farm worker had previously or subsequently worked on a farm does not suggest that a defendant did not use force, fraud, or coercion to compel the worker to labor on the defendant's farm during the dates alleged. No one has the right to compel someone to work against her free will. This principle applies with equal force whether the labor in question involves farming or commercial sex acts. U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 Govermnent' s Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 8 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094082 1 witness."); Wood v. Alaska, 957 F.2d 1544, 1550 (9th Cir. 1992) (holding that the "fact 2 that [the victim] posed in the nude or acted in pornographic performances does not in any 3 way indicate that she is a dishonest person or had a motive to lie in this case"); Doe, 666 4 F.2d at 47 ("[R]eputation and opinion concerning a victim's past sexual behavior are not 5 relevant indicators of the likelihood of her consent to a specific sex act or her veracity."). 6 It has no impeachment value because evidence that the victim previously or subsequently 7 engaged in commercial sex acts does not contradict evidence that the victim engaged in 8 the commercial sex acts for which the Defendant has been charged. Elbert, 561 F.3d at 9 777. 10 11 12 c. Alternatively, the Court Should Exclude Evidence of the Victims' Other Sexual Behavior and Alleged Predisposition Pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 403 The Court should alternatively prohibit this evidence under Rule 403 of the 13 Federal Rules of Evidence because "its probative value is substantially outweighed by the 14 danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by 15 considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative 16 evidence." Even if evidence of the victims' umelated prostitution activity were relevant, 17 any probative value would be marginal at best and would be substantially outweighed by 18 the dangers of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, misleading the jury, and 19 embarrassing the victims. United States v. One Feather, 702 F.2d 736, 739 (8th Cir. 20 1983) ("The policy of Rule 412, to guard against unwarranted intrusion into the victim's 21 private life, may be taken into account in determining the amount of unfair prejudice 22 under Rule 403."). 23 The key issues in this case are 1) whether the Defendant transported C.C., N.C., 24 and B.M. across state lines for the purpose of prostitution and 2) whether the Defendant 25 acted with the knowledge that force, fraud, or coercion would be used to cause B .M. to 261 engage in commercial sex acts. The issue is not whether and how many times_the victims 27 had sex before or after escaping from the Defendant or what they did to survive. 28 Evidence of the victims' other sexual behavior and alleged sexual predisposition U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 9 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094083 1 "imprudently focus[ es] attention on the minimally probative and collateral issue of [their] 2 character," Jones, 982 F.2d at 470 n.8, and "distract[s the jury] from the main question of 3 what actually happened [to them] on the [dates in question],'' Fed. R. Evid. 404(a), 4 Advisory Committee Notes on Proposed Rules. It further improperly suggests that the 5 victims are prostitutes of immoral character who are undeserving of the law's protection. 6 See 1 McCormick on Evid. § 193 (7th ed.) ("Leaming of the victim's bad character could 7 lead the jury to think that the victim merely 'got what [she] deserved' and to acquit for 8 that reason."). Thus, even if evidence of C.C., N.C., and B.M. 's umelated commercial 9 sex acts were relevant, its exclusion would not be "arbitrary or disproportionate" to the 10 purposes that Rule 412 was designed to serve. See Culver, 598 F.3d at 749 (holding that 11 exclusion of victim's prior sexual history in child pornography prosecution was not 12 "arbitrary or disproportionate" because it would have confused the jury and harassed the 13 victim). 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412 - 10 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094084 1 2 CONCLUSION Evidence of C.C., N.C., and B.M. 's sexual behavior or alleged sexual 3 predisposition is not relevant to the charges, does not support a defense, and has no 4 impeachment value. Allowing this evidence to be introduced would put the victims on 5 trial and distract the jury from the Defendant's criminal conduct. Any probative value of 6 the evidence is substantially outweighed by the dangers of unfair prejudice, confusion of 7 the issues, misleading the jury, and invading the victims' privacy. Accordingly, this 8 Court should prohibit Defendant from: (1) introducing evidence that C.C., N.C., or B.M. 9 engaged in commercial sex acts before or after leaving the Defendant; (2) questioning 10 C.C., N.C., or B.M. about their prior or subsequent and umelated prostitution activity; 11 and (3) otherwise referencing such inadmissible evidence during voir dire, opening 12 statements, and closing arguments. 13 14 DATED this 19th day of January, 2016.

's consent to being 24 transported across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. 25 26 27 28 U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence of Consent - 1 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094087 I ARGUMENT 2 A. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Consent by Minors C.C. and N.C. to be Transported for Prostitution is Irrelevant and Should be Excluded Defendant Robert Powell has been charged in a four count Superseding Indictment. Counts One and Two charge the Defendant with transporting two juveniles (C.C. and N.C.) in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2423(a). See Docket No. 32. At trial, testimony and evidence will establish, among other things, that in August 2014, the Defendant transported C.C. and N.C. from the Seattle area to San Jose, California, with the intent that they engage in prostitution. At the time, C.C. was seventeen years old and N.C. was sixteen years old. Once in California, the minor victims engaged in commercial sex acts and provided their earnings to the Defendant. The government moves in limine for an Order barring the Defendant from introducing any evidence, or making any argument, that C.C. or N.C. consented to engaging in prostitution or being transported to California. Counts One and Two do not require any proof that the juvenile victim did or did not consent to the conduct. Rather, to prove a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a), the government must establish three elements: first, that the Defendant knowingly transported the victim across a state line or international border; second, that the Defendant did so with the intent that the victim engage in prostitution; and third, that the victim was under the age of eighteen years at the time. Because lack of consent is not an element of Counts One and Two, evidence that C.C. or N.C. may have "consented" to being transported across state lines for the purpose of prostitution does not provide a legally cognizable defense and therefore should be excluded. See United States v. Williams, 529 F.3d 1, 6 (1st Cir. 2008) (finding that even if a minor had consented to transportation for prostitution, consent would not have been legally valid); United States v. Pelton, 578 F.2d 701, 712 (8th Cir. 1978) (holding that consent is not a defense to transportation of a minor for purpose of prostitution); see also United States v. Raplinger, 2006 WL 3455266, at *11 (N.D. Iowa U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence of Consent - 2 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094088 1 Nov. 29, 2006) ("By definition, the victim in a sexual exploitation of a minor case is a 2 minor. A minor cannot consent to being sexually exploited."). Even if regarded as 3 relevant, such evidence should be excluded under Federal Rule of Evidence 403 because 4 it is highly inflammatory, and would only serve to confuse and divert the jury from the 5 real issues in the case. 6 B. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Consent by B.M. to Transportation Across State Lines for Prostitution is Irrelevant and Should be Excluded Count Four of the Superseding Indictment charges the Defendant with transporting and attempting to transport adult victim B.M. in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution through coercion and enticement, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2422(a) and 2. The government moves to exclude any testimony or evidence of any consent given, explicitly or implicitly, by B.M. by being transported across state lines for the purpose of prostitution as irrelevant because it does not provide a viable legal defense. See Fed. R. Evid. 402 ("Evidence which is not relevant is not admissible.") The Defendant should be barred from introducing any evidence or making any argument regarding B.M. 's consent to being transported across state line. Mann Act charges, including Section 2422, do not require any proof that the victim was unwillingly transported across state lines. See Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instruction 8.192 (stating that for the defendant to be found guilty of this charge, the government must prove that "the defendant knowingly [persuaded] [induced] [enticed] [coerced] an individual to travel in [interstate] [foreign] commerce to engage in [prostitution]"). Citing United States v. Rashkovski, 301 F.3d 1133 (9th Cir. 2002), the Comment to this Instruction further states that "[t]he statutory language does not require defendant to "have created out of whole cloth the women's desire to go to the United States; it merely requires that he have convinced or influenced [them] to actually undergo the journey, or made the possibility more appealing." Id at 1136-37. "[I]t is the defendant's intent that forms the basis for the criminal liability, not the victims'." Id U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence of Consent - 3 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094089 1 Thus, under Rule 401, any evidence regarding B.M. 's consent to being transported 2 will not make any fact at issue more or less likely to be true and it is therefore 3 inadmissible. See United States v. Lowe, 145 F.3d 43, 52 (1st Cir. 1998) (stating that 4 "[ c]onsent is a defense to kidnapping but not to a Mann Act charge"); United States v. 5 Jones, 808 F.2d 561, 565 (7th Cir. 1986) (same). Even if relevant, such evidence should 6 nonetheless be excluded under Federal Rule of Evidence 403 because its probative value 7 is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice it creates. 8 CONCLUSION 9 For the reasons set forth above, the government respectfully requests that this 10 Court issue an Order to exclude from trial any testimony or evidence of ( 1) consent by 11 juvenile victims C.C. or N.C. to participate in prostitution or to being transported across 12 state lines for the purpose of prostitution; and (2) adult victim B.M. 's consent to being 13 transported across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. 14 15 DATED this 19th day of January, 2016. Respectfully submitted, 16 17 ANNETTE L.

Crisham and Amy 20 Jaquette, Assistant United States Attorneys for said District, hereby moves this Court in 21 22 23 limine for an Order precluding the defense from 1) eliciting testimony that the minor victims claimed to be adults, either through their statements to the Defendant or otherwise; 2) presenting evidence regarding what the Defendant may have believed about 24 the age of the minor victims in this case; and 3) arguing or suggesting to the jury that they 25 may acquit the Defendant because he was allegedly unaware that the victims were under 26 the age of eighteen at the time he transported them from Washington to California for the 27 purpose of engaging in prostitution. 2sl U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Preclude Mistake-of-Age Defense and Evidence at Trial - 1 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094092 1 2 3 INTRODUCTION Defendant Robert Powell has been charged in a four count Superseding 4 Indictment. Counts One and Two charge the Defendant with transporting two juveniles 5 (C.C. and N.C.) in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution, in violation of 6 Title 18, United States Code, Section 2423(a). See Docket No. 32. At trial, testimony 7 and evidence will establish, among other things, that in August 2014, the Defendant 8 transported C.C. and N.C. from the Seattle area to San Jose, California, with the intent 9 that they engage in prostitution. At the time, C.C. was seventeen years old and N.C. was 10 sixteen years old. Once in California, the minor victims engaged in commercial sex acts 11 and provided their earnings to the Defendant. 12 The government has provided the defense with copies of law enforcement reports 13 detailing statements made by C.C. and N.C. Both C.C. and N.C. told law enforcement 14 officers that when they met the Defendant, they told him they were eighteen and twenty 15 years old, respectively. They further stated that the Defendant initially asked them for 16 identification, but did not press the issue when they told him they didn't have any 17 identification with them. At least one of the victims, C.C., also claimed that she was over 18 the age of eighteen in an online dating profile. 19 The Defendant subsequently posted online prostitution advertisements featuring 20 C.C. and N.C. in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, and collected money that C.C. earned 21 from engaging in commercial sex acts with customers who called the number on the 22 advertisement. After one night in Washington, the Defendant drove C.C. and N.C. to San 23 Jose. He told them that they had to wear provocative clothing and walk the "track" to 24 find prostitution customers. The Defendant collected the money that C.C. and N.C. 25 earned from prostitution dates in California. After several days, frustrated at the amount 26 of money that C.C. and N.C. had earned, the Defendant left them stranded in their hotel 27 room and sent C.C. a text message advising her that "you hoes have been fired." 28 U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Preclude Mistake-of-Age Defense and Evidence at Trial - 2 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094093 1 The government anticipates that the Defendant may attempt to elicit evidence at 2 trial, either through his own testimony or through cross-examination, that C.C. and N.C. 3 misrepresented their true ages, either directly to him or through their online profiles, and 4 that he accordingly was duped into believing that they were adults. The defense may 5 further suggest to the jury - through argument, cross-examination or direct testimony 6 that the Defendant reasonably believed that C.C. and N.C. were adults and thus should 7 not be held criminally liable for transporting juveniles in interstate commerce for the 8 purpose of prostitution. As set forth more fully below, the Defendant's knowledge of the 9 victims' ages is irrelevant to the issue of whether he violated Title 18, United States 10 Code, Section 2423(a), as charged in Counts One and Two, and accordingly should be 11 excluded from evidence or argument at trial. 12 ARGUMENT 13 This Court should enter an Order preventing the Defendant from presenting 14 evidence or asserting at trial that he did not know the age of the victims or that he 15 reasonably believed they were eighteen years old or older. The Defendant's knowledge 16 of the age of the victims is not an element of Counts One and Two. To prove a violation 17 of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a), the government must establish three elements: first, that the 18 Defendant knowingly transported the victim across a state line or international border; 19 second, that the Defendant did so with the intent that the victim engage in prostitution; 20 and third, that the victim was under the age of eighteen years at the time. See Ninth 21 Circuit Model Criminal Jury Instructions. Citing the Ninth Circuit's holding in United 22 States v. Taylor, 239 F.3d 994, 997 (9th Cir. 2001), the Comment to the Ninth Circuit 23 Model Criminal Jury Instruction notes that "[i]t is not a defense to the crime of 24 transporting a minor for purposes of prostitution that the defendant was ignorant of the 25 child's age ... If someone knowingly transports a person for the purpose of prostitution 26 or another sex offense, the transporter assumes the risk that the victim is a minor, 27 regardless of what the victim says or how the victim appears." Id (citations omitted). 28 U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Preclude Mistake-of-Age Defense and Evidence at Trial - 3 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094094 I Numerous federal courts of appeal, including the Ninth Circuit in Taylor, have 2 held that it is unnecessary to show that the defendant knew the age of the victim to 3 sustain a conviction under§ 2423(a). See United States v. Tavares, 705 F.3d 4, 19-20 4 (1st Cir. 2013); United States v. Griffith, 284 F.3d 338, 351 (2d Cir. 2002); States 5 v. Hamilton, 456 F.2d 171, 173 (3d Cir. 1972); United States v. Jones, 471 F.3d 535, 541 6 (4th Cir. 2006); United States v. Daniels, 653 F.3d 399, 410, (6th Cir. 2011); United 7 States v. Cox, 577 F.3d 833, 838 (7th Cir. 2009); United States v. Scisum, 32 F.3d 1479, 8 1485-86 (10th Cir. 1994). Indeed, as the Second Circuit noted in Griffith, 284 F.3d at 9 351, "a defendant is already on notice that he is committing a crime when he transports I 0 an individual of any age in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution." Because 11 Section 2423 "is intended to protect young persons who are transported for illicit 12 purposes, and not transporters who remain ignorant of the age of those whom they 13 transport,'' see Taylor, 239 F.3d at 996, evidence that a defendant was ignorant as to a 14 victim's true age is legally unavailable as an affirmative defense. 15 Because knowledge of the victim's age is not an element required for conviction 16 under Section 2423(a), and does not constitute an affirmative defense to the crime, any 17 evidence or argument relating to the Defendant's perception or knowledge of C.C. and 18 N.C. 'sages is irrelevant and should be excluded at trial. Although a defendant has a 19 constitutional right to present a defense, he must still comply with the rules of evidence. 20 He "does not have an unfettered right to offer testimony that is incompetent, privileged, 21 or otherwise inadmissible under standard rules of evidence." Taylor v. Illinois, 484 U.S. 22 400, 410 (1988). 23 Here, the Defendant's alleged lack of knowledge and/or misunderstanding of C.C. 24 and N.C. 's ages, even if proven at trial, does not make it any more or less likely that the 25 Defendant committed the crime of transporting C.C. and N.C. across state lines for the 26 purpose of prostitution. As such, it should be excluded as irrelevant under Federal Rules 27 of Evidence 40 I and 402. The only conceivable rationale for eliciting such information 28 despite its irrelevance would be to invite the jury to nullify rather than follow the law. U.S. v. Powell/CRlS-244-RAJ Government's Motion in Limine to Preclude Mistake-of-Age Defense and Evidence at Trial - 4 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094095 1 Because "it is the duty of juries in criminal cases to take the law from the court, and 2 apply that law to the facts as they find them to be from the evidence,'' Merced v. 3 McGrath, 426 F.3d 1076, 1079 (9th Cir. 2005), this Court should preclude the defense 4 from arguing jury nullification or otherwise encouraging jurors to ignore the law. 5 Moreover, to allow the defense to present this evidence or argument would 6 effectively strip Section 2423(a) of its clear and express purpose, which is the protection 7 of minors. See Taylor, 239 F.3d at 997 (noting that the "transportation of any individual 8 for the purposes of prostitution or other criminal sexual activity is already unlawful under 9 federal law" and that "the fact that the individual being transported is a minor creates a 10 more serious crime in order to provide heightened protection against sexual exploitation 11 of minors" and citing legislative history of statute). As the Fourth Circuit has noted, if 12 knowledge of age were an element of the crime, 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 it would be the rare defendant who would not claim to have mistaken the victim for an adult. Imposing such a mens rea requirement would be tantamount to permitting adults to prey upon minors so long as they cultivate ignorance of their victims' age ... It would be nonsensical to require proof of knowledge of the victim's age when the statute exists to provide special protection for all minors, including, if not especially, those who could too easily be mistaken for adults. Such minors are still minors, regardless of what they say or how they appear. United States v. Jones, 471F.3d535, 540 (4th Cir. 2006). The Defendant should be precluded from introducing evidence or suggesting to the jury that his purported ignorance and/or misunderstanding of C.C. and N.C. 'sages protects him from criminal liability. CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, the government respectfully requests that this Court enter an Order precluding the defense from 1) eliciting testimony that the minor victims claimed to be adults, either through their statements to the Defendant or otherwise; 2) presenting evidence regarding what the Defendant may have believed about the age of the minor victims in this case; and 3) arguing or suggesting to the jury that they may U.S. v.

Lasnik 2 3 4 5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 8 9 10 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 11 Plaintiff, 12 13 v. 14 15 JOHN HENRY CYPRIAN, JR., 16 Defendant. 17 NO. CR14-236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM FILED UNDER SEAL 18 The United States of America, by and through Annette L. Hayes, Acting United 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 States Attorney for the Western District of Washington, and Catherine L. Crisham, Assistant United States Attorney for said District, and Vanita Gupta, Acting Assistant Attorney General, and Victor Boutros, Trial Attorney for the Department of Justice, hereby files this Response to Defendant's Sentencing Memorandum in order to address several points made by Defendant in his memorandum. 1. Victim B.N. Has Not Recanted Her Grand Jury Testimony Regarding Defendant's Sexual Assault In its sentencing memo, the defense contends that B.N. has recanted the statements 27 she made to law enforcement regarding Defendant's sexual assault on her. The defense 28 further suggests that because B.N. now denies that Defendant raped her, there is no longer UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 1 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094099 1 any basis for this Court to conclude that Defendant inflicted "serious bodily injury" on B.N. 2 for purposes of imposing the Section 2H 4 .1 (b )( 1)(B) enhancement. See Defendant's 3 Sentencing Memorandum (Docket No. 52) at 3, 8. However, the defense's characterization 4 of B.N. 's alleged "recantation" is simply not accurate. 5 On December 2, 2014, defense counsel produced discovery to the government. This 6 discovery included a memorandum, written by a defense investigator, detailing a telephone 7 conversation between the investigator, defense counsel, and B.N. Among other things, the 8 memorandum states that "when asked about statements she made to [Bellevue Police 9 Department Detective Ben Richey] about [Defendant] raping, or forcing her to be intimate 10 the first time they met, [B.N.] said, 'I wouldn't say force, it was more of a kinky thing."' 11 The memorandum does not include any other statements made by B.N. about whether or not 12 she and Defendant had consensual sex the first night they met. 13 Upon learning this information, on December 6, 2014, Detective Richey contacted 14 B.N. and spoke with her about her conversation with the defense team. As memorialized in 15 Detective Richey's supplementary report, the relevant portion of which is attached hereto as 16 Exhibit 1, B.N. provided the following information: 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Since [Defendant's] indictment went public; several people on the street who she and [Defendant] mutually know have been giving her grief calling her a 'snitch.' In addition, at least one member of [Defendant's] family she knows as his cousin called her a 'snitch' and told her to stop 'snitching.' ... The backlash from mutual friends and [Defendant's] family has [B.N.] emotional and scared for her own safety as well as the safety of her daughter who is now 9 months old. About two months ago, two people claiming to be [Defendant's] attorneys contacted [B.N.] first via text message. The pair asked to meet her in person at a restaurant. [B.N.] did not feel comfortable meeting people she didn't know personally... She eventually agreed to speak with the pair via telephone. [B.N.] does not deny saying some of what [Defendant's] defense team claim she related to them. However, she acknowledged that the reason she said the things she said was out of fear or further retaliation from mutual friends of she and [Defendant's] as well as members of his family. Furthermore, at the time UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 2 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094100 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 of the call, she was in the company of an unidentified friend that was encouraging her not to be a 'snitch' throughout her entire conversation with the pair. I asked [B.N.] if she told me the truth when she and I first met when she provided a recorded statement and she said "Yes." I asked her if the things she related to AUSA Crisham were truthful and she said they were. Additionally, [B.N.] related that her testimony to the grand jury was also truthful. Lastly, [B.N.] stated that she is still willing to cooperate in criminal prosecution including testify if needed. See Exhibit 1. The government respectfully submits that B.N. has in no way recanted her allegation, made both during a recorded statement with law enforcement and in sworn grand jury testimony, that Defendant raped her. On the contrary, as she explained to Detective Richey, she minimized Defendant's actions during her phone conversation with the defense counsel and investigator because 1) she did not know either of them personally; 2) she had previously received threats from Defendant's friends and family as a result of her cooperation in this case and did not want to be labeled a "snitch;" and 3) an unnamed companion was sitting next to her during the entire conversation, pressuring her not to be a "snitch." B.N. went on to confirm that her original statements to Detective Richey and her grand jury testimony were true. The defense's suggestion that B.N. no longer contends that Defendant sexually assaulted her - and, therefore, that no justification exists to apply the "serious bodily injury" enhancement - simply is not supported by the facts. There are more than sufficient grounds to find both that Defendant raped B.N. and that she suffered serious bodily injury as a result of Defendant's actions. The enhancement should be applied. 2. The Court Should Apply a Preponderance of the Evidence Standard When Resolving Factual Disputes at Sentencing Defendant contends that the government bears the burden of proving all disputed 26 factual issues by clear and convincing evidence, rather than a preponderance of the 27 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 3 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094101 1 evidence. See Defendant's Sentencing Memorandum at 6-8. Defendant's position is 2 meritless and should be rejected. 3 The preponderance of the evidence standard of proof generally applies to factual 4 determinations made by a district court at sentencing and satisfies the demands of due 5 process. See United States v. Treadwell, 593 F3d 990, 1000 (9th Cir. 2010) ("Ordinarily, a 6 district court uses a preponderance of the evidence standard of proof when finding facts at 7 sentencing ... "). Similarly, the Guidelines affirm that "the Commission believes that use of 8 a preponderance of the evidence standard is appropriate to meet due process requirements 9 and policy concerns in resolving disputes regarding application of the guidelines to the facts 10 of the case." See Commentary to Section 6Al.3. 11 In Restrepo II, the Ninth Circuit, sitting en bane, commented in dicta that "there may 12 be an exception to the general rule that the preponderance standard satisfies due process 13 when a sentencing factor has an extremely disproportionate effect on the sentence relative 14 to the offense of conviction." United States v. Restrepo, 946 F.2d 654, 659 (9th Cir. 1991) 15 (en bane) (emphasis added). The panel provided two examples of scenarios in which such 16 an exception might apply: 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 The Third Circuit has recognized that if the sentencing factor has an extreme effect on the sentence, such as a departure from 30 months (the median of the applicable guidelines range in that case) to 30 years, the sentencing factor has become "a tail which wags the dog of the substantive defense." Consequently, the court concluded that the facts must be proven by clear and convincing evidence. The Eighth Circuit has also suggested, without deciding, that a sentencing factor that produces an 18-level increase in a base offense level and a 7-fold increase in the permissible sentencing range may require clear and convincing evidence before it can be applied. Id. at 656 n. l (internal citations omitted). The Ninth Circuit has also held that a sentencing court should consider a heightened "clear and convincing evidence" standard of proof only when confronting "an exceptional case" where, as in the two scenarios above, the predicate factual determinations support an enhancement that represents the "overwhelming proportion of the punishment imposed." United States v. Staten, 446 F.3d at 720. Under 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 4 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094102 1 the "extremely disproportionate impact test," where a "severe sentencing enhancement is 2 imposed on the basis of uncharged or acquitted conduct, due process may require clear and 3 convincing evidence of that conduct." Treadwell, 593 F.3d at 1000. 4 Defendant contends that this Court is required to apply a heightened clear and 5 convincing evidence standard of proof because the government is seeking three separate 6 two-level enhancements. However, the defense fails to cite a single human trafficking case 7 in which a court has applied the heightened standard of proof at sentencing - let alone a 8 single case of any kind in which the heightened standard has been triggered by the 9 aggregation of separate enhancements. On the contrary, the primary case relied upon by the 10 Defendant, United States v. Treadwell, seems to compel the opposite conclusion. In that 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 case, the Court noted that: We have, however, reserved even a modestly heightened standard of proof for particularly egregious case[ s]. Even in the face of indisputable serious sentencing consequences, we have concluded that the normal preponderance standard should apply. See Treadwell, 593 F.3d at 1001 (rejecting defendant's argument that a clear and convincing standard applies, notwithstanding a 22level increase in the Guidelines range). United States v. Forrester, 616 F.3d 929, 952 (9th Cir. 2010) (concurring in part and dissenting in part). The Ninth Circuit has similarly found that other cases - all of which resulted in a far more dramatic increase in the median guidelines range as a result of a single enhancement than the six-level increase that would result if all three potential enhancements are applied in this case - were not so disproportionate that due process required the application of the clear and convincing standard. See, e.g., United States v. Sanchez, 967 F.2d 1383 (9th Cir. 1992) (increase from a range of 10-16 months to 33-41 months), United States v. Harrison-Philpot, 978 F.2d 1520 (9th Cir. 1992) (from a range of 41-51 months to 292-365 months), and, United States v. Rutledge, 28 F.3d 998 (9th Cir. 1994) (increase from arange of77-96 months to 140-175 months). The defendant points to a six-factor test, first announced in Valensia, 222 F.3d at 1182, to determine whether there is an extremely disproportionate effect of an enhanced 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 5 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094103 1 sentence that may warrant a heightened standard of proof. None of those factors compels 2 the heightened evidentiary standard he seeks. First, the advisory guidelines range with the 3 enhancements is 110 to 13 7 months, well under the statutory maximum of twenty years. 4 Second, the enhanced sentence does not negate the presumption of innocence of the 5 prosecution's burden of proof for the crime alleged in the indictment. Third, the facts 6 offered in support of the enhancement do not create new offenses requiring separate 7 punishment. Fourth, the increase in sentence is not based on the extent of a conspiracy. 8 Fifth, each of the challenged enhancements is two levels. Even if aggregated, the total 9 offense level would only be increased six levels. The Hopper case on which that factor is 10 expressly based held only "that a four-level enhancement is 'not an exceptional case that 11 requires clear and convincing evidence."' Id. (quoting Hopper, 177 F.3d at 833). It did not, 12 however, hold or imply that anything higher than a four-level increase must be an 13 exceptional case that requires the heightened evidentiary standard, and indeed, such an 14 inference is foreclosed by the Ninth Circuit's reasoning and holdings in Treadwell, Sanches, 15 Harrison-Philpot, and Rutledge. Finally, the length of the enhanced sentence is not more 16 than double the length of the sentence authorized by the initial sentencing guideline range in 17 a case where the defendant would otherwise have received a relatively short sentence. As 18 Valensia makes clear, the concern in this factor is particularly with uncharged conduct more 19 than doubling the defendant's otherwise small exposure. 222 F.3d at 1182. This factor 20 stems from United States v. Mezas de Jesus, 217 F.3d 638 (9th Cir. 2000), where the Court 21 applied a nine-level enhancement in an undocumented immigrant in possession of a firearm 22 case based on a finding that the firearm was used in an uncharged kidnapping, increasing 23 the defendant's exposure "from a 'relatively short' sentence of less than two years to nearly 24 five years based on an offense for which he was never even charged." Id By contrast, the 25 defendant's exposure without any enhancements exceeds five years, and the three two-level 26 enhancements stem from his own conduct during and facilitating the offense of conviction. 27 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 6 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094104 1 As the case law makes clear, none of the factors considered by this Circuit requires a 2 heightened evidentiary standard. For these reasons, the Court should apply the standard 3 preponderance of the evidence standard of proof at sentencing. 4 3. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 The Government's Recommended Sentence of 120 Months is Consistent with Sentences Imposed in Similar Cases by Courts in this District Defendant contends that a sentence of 48 months will adequately punish him for the months of sexual exploitation and physical abuse that he inflicted upon his two victims. In doing so, he cites a case, United States v. Desmond Manago, CRl 4-023 RSM, recently prosecuted by this office. Def. Sentencing Memo. at 14. Manago is a longtime pimp with a prior state conviction for promoting prostitution who pled guilty to trafficking a juvenile over a two-month period in various states. Baldly contending that Manago's conduct was "much more severe than Mr. Cyprian's conduct,'' Defendant argues that he should receive a significantly shorter sentence than Manago' s 120 month sentence. As an initial matter, the government strongly disagrees with the defense's suggestion, repeated several times throughout the sentencing memorandum, that the fact that a trafficking victim may have "a history of willing participation in the commercial sex trade" somehow minimizes the seriousness of the trafficker's conduct. This position is not only extremely offensive and dismissive of the victim's inherent human dignity, but it has also been roundly rejected by numerous appellate courts. See United States v. Roy, -F.3d-, 2015 WL 1283827 (8th Cir. 2015) ("At issue here is not recruiting an individual to engage in commercial sex for the first time, but doing an act with the use of force, threats, fraud, or coercion to cause the victim to engage in commercial sex. The victim's participation in prostitution either before or after the time period in the indictment has no relevance to whether [Defendant] beat her, threatened her, and took the money she made from prostitution in order to cause her to engage in commercial sex"); United States v. Cephus, 684 F.3d 703, 708 (7th Cir. 2012) (Posner, J.) (the fact that victim was previously a prostitute "would not be evidence that she consented to be beaten and to receive no share of the fees paid by the johns she serviced. And even if she knew going in, from her prior UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 7 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094105 1 experience, that [the defendant] probably would beat her, it was still a crime for him to do 2 so."); United States v. Valenzuela, 495 Fed. Appx. 817, 819-20 (9th Cir. 2012) ("Appellants 3 cannot show the relevance of questions about prior prostitution to either Appellants' 4 knowledge of the use of force, fraud, or coercion, or the victims' consent to work in 5 prostitution"). 6 More importantly, the circumstances of the Manago prosecution are substantially 7 different than those of the instant case. It is true that Manago has a more serious criminal 8 history than Cyprian, including a prior state conviction for promoting prostitution. Unlike 9 Defendant, however, Manago almost immediately accepted responsibility for his conduct 10 and agreed to plead guilty to sex trafficking of a juvenile. 1 Manago' s willingness to 11 promptly acknowledge his behavior not only saved the government considerable time and 12 resources, 2 but it also limited the retraumatization to his victim. For these reasons, the 13 government agreed to jointly recommended a sentence of 120 months. 14 Defendant, on the other hand, did not enter a guilty plea until a few weeks before the 15 scheduled trial date. Furthermore, Defendant's conduct was equivalent to, if not worse than 16 Manago' s conduct. Defendant trafficked his victims for a longer period of time and was 17 considerably more violent than Manago. In addition, although defense counsel contends 18 that "Mr. Cyprian did not pimp out juveniles,'' the discovery produced in this case 19 suggested that Defendant did in fact traffic a fifteen year old for a period of time in 2014, in 20 addition to other uncharged adult victims. Taking all of these circumstances into 21 consideration, a sentence of 120 months - the same sentence that Manago received - is 22 appropriate and would not result in unwarranted sentencing disparity. 23 Indeed, a sentence of 120 months is well within the universe of sentences imposed by 24 courts in this district in trafficking cases. This case is most factually similar to United 25 26 27 28 1 There was a delay of several months between Manago 's initial appearance in federal court and his guilty plea. This period of delay is not attributable to Manago. Rather, his counsel had previous commitments, including a trial in another county, and asked govermnent counsel to delay the change of plea hearing until defense counsel could be rresent. UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 8 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094106 1 States v. Charles Nash, CR12-23 RSM, in which Nash pled guilty to one count of human 2 trafficking and acknowledged pimping five different victims. Like Defendant, Nash preyed 3 almost exclusively upon adults who had previously been involved in prostitution. He also 4 physically abused his victims. Nash was sentenced to 180 months imprisonment. See also 5 United States v. Ronnie Tramble, CRl 1-250 JCC (Defendant pled guilty to sex trafficking 6 one juvenile victim through force, fraud, and coercion and acknowledged trafficking at least 7 five other victims; sentenced to 180 months); United States v. McDaniels, CR12-185 JLR 8 (Defendant pled guilty to interstate transportation of one adult victim and acknowledged use 9 of physical violence; sentenced to 112 months); United States v. Braun, CRl 1-5241 BHS 10 (Defendant pled guilty to one count of human trafficking one juvenile victim and two 11 counts of felon in possession of a firearm; no violence alleged; sentenced to 120 months); 12 United States v.

Hospedales, CR09-5434 BHS (Defendant pled guilty to sex 15 trafficking two juvenile victims; sentenced to 132 months). 16 The government considered the facts and circumstances of each of the above cases 17 when determining an appropriate sentence for Defendant. A sentence of 120 months is 18 consistent with sentences previously imposed in trafficking cases in this District and 19 adequately address the nature and extent of Defendant's criminal conduct. 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 UNITED STATES v.

Sentencing is scheduled 23 for April 3, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. 24 25 I. INTRODUCTION For more than a year, Defendant John Cyprian supported himself by forcing and 26 coercing young women into selling their bodies to strangers for money. To maintain control 27 over his victims, Defendant physically beat them, verbally assaulted them, and plied them 28 with addictive drugs. Defendant also facilitated his victims' prostitution activities by UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 1 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-09411 O 1 posting commercial sex advertisements on the internet, arranging "dates" with the men who 2 responded to these advertisements, and driving his victims to meet with their prostitution 3 clients at motels and other locations. On Defendant's orders, his victims engaged in 4 commercial sex acts seven days a week - and handed over every dollar they earned to 5 Defendant. 6 Defendant has pled guilty to the human trafficking of two adult victims, hereinafter 7 referred to as B.N. and D.B. For the reasons set forth below, the government respectfully 8 asks this Court to sentence Defendant to 120 months imprisonment, order three years of 9 supervised release, impose the conditions of supervision proposed by the Probation Office, 10 and order restitution in the amount of $161,700, to be distributed among his two victims. 11 II. 12 FACTUAL BACKGROUND As set forth in both the Plea Agreement and the Presentence Report, Defendant is a 13 pimp who preyed upon vulnerable young women and manipulated them into working for 14 him as prostitutes. In the course of his trafficking activities, Defendant used physical 15 violence and emotional control to cause his victims to have sex with strangers for money 16 and provide all of their earnings - at least $161,700 over a thirteen-month period- to him. 17 18 A. Victim B.N. Defendant met B.N. through a mutual friend in April 2013. PSR at if7. At the time, 19 B.N. was working as a prostitute and supporting herself by walking "the track." Defendant, 20 who had previously worked as a pimp, told B.N. that if she worked for him, he would help 21 her find prostitution dates on the internet so that she wouldn't have to walk the streets. He 22 also promised that if she worked for him, they would "make money together." Id B.N. 23 was initially resistant to having Defendant be her pimp, but was interested in him as a 24 potential boyfriend. The first night Defendant met B.N., he "forced himself' on her, and 25 had sex with her despite her telling him that she did not want to. See Grand Jury Testimony 26 of B.N., attached hereto as Exhibit 1, at Bates 1657-58. The next day, Defendant moved 27 B.N. into a new hotel and began setting up prostitution dates for her through Backpage.com. 28 Id at Bates 1658. UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 2 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094111 1 For the next four months, B.N. worked for Defendant as a prostitute in Seattle and 2 Portland. Defendant exerted significant control over her as her pimp. Defendant drafted 3 and posted escort advertisements for B.N. on Backpage.com and negotiated the details of 4 each date with the men who responded to the advertisements. See Plea Agreement (Docket 5 34) at Paragraph IO(c). Defendant accompanied B.N. on all of her dates and waited for her 6 until she was finished. Id He also determined the prices for each sex act and required her 7 to be available to conduct sex acts 24 hours a day. See Exhibit 1 (Bates 1662). Defendant 8 took all of B .N. 's prostitution earnings, occasionally buying her food or new clothes with 9 the money she made. See Plea Agreement at 10(c). 10 Among other things, Defendant maintained control over B.N. by physically abusing 11 her. B.N. testified in front of the grand jury that within days of meeting Defendant, he 12 assaulted her after she accidentally told a hotel clerk that they had smoked cigarettes in their 13 room, thus causing Defendant to lose the room deposit. See Exhibit 1 at Bates 1663. B.N. 14 stated that Defendant repeatedly hit her in the back of the head for this infraction, and that she 15 was "shocked" and physically hurt by the beating. Id B.N. further testified that Defendant 16 physically assaulted her on approximately ten other occasions, including one instance when 17 he punched her in the face and in the back of the head, giving her a bloody nose. Id at 166818 69. After bloodying her nose, Defendant had B.N. "lay on [her] back" and then "started 19 punching the back of [her] head" throughout the night. According to B.N., Defendant "likes 20 to put fear into people,'' and "would always say ... when he gets mad, he can't stop until he 21 sees blood." Id at 1669-70. Defendant also threatened to kill B.N. Id at 1669. After these 22 violent incidents, B.N. would often escape and leave Defendant for a few days. He would 23 then bombard her with apologetic text messages telling her that he loved her, after which she 24 would eventually return and begin working for him as a prostitute again. Id at 1664. 25 Sometime in June 2015, B.N. left Defendant for about ten days. Id at 1673. During 26 this time frame, she became pregnant by another man. Before she knew she was pregnant, 27 B.N. went back to Defendant and was almost immediately picked up by law enforcement and 28 jailed on an outstanding warrant. Id Defendant did not bail B.N. out and she was detained UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 3 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094112 1 for approximately forty days. After she was released, B.N. worked for Defendant for 2 approximately two more weeks before moving out of Washington State. Id at 1673-74. B.N. 3 returned to Seattle in January 2014 and stayed with Defendant and his new victim, D.B., for a 4 brief period of time. Defendant did not make B.N. work as a prostitute, as she was pregnant 5 at the time, but he did require her to drive him and D.B. to various locations in King and 6 Snohomish counties, as well as Portland, so that D.B. could engage in prostitution acts there. 7 Plea Agreement at Paragraph IO(e). According to B.N., Defendant made D.B. "work a lot" 8 more than fifteen dates a day- and took all of her earnings. See Exhibit 1 at 1677. B.N. estimated that between April and August 2013, she did an average of between 9 10 10 to 12 commercial sex acts per day at the rate of between $100 to $140 per sex act. Exhibit 11 1at1662. She gave all of her earnings to Defendant. According to B.N., Defendant had no 12 legitimate source of income, although he did sell crack cocaine and pills. Id at 1667-68. 13 B.N. testified that Defendant gave her Oxycontin pills when she pregnant, telling her that the 14 pills were good for her. Id at 1681. 15 B. 16 Victim D.B. Victim D.B. met Defendant in late 2013 when he approached her and a friend on 17 Rainier Avenue in Seattle and asked if they wanted to buy crack cocaine. See Grand Jury 18 Testimony of D.B., attached hereto as Exhibit 2, at Bates 1693-94. D.B., who at the time was 19 addicted to crack, kept in touch with Defendant and he subsequently became her main 20 supplier. Id 21 In January 2014, D.B. needed a ride somewhere and called Defendant, as he was one 22 of the only people she knew with a car. See Exhibit 2 at 1694. Defendant picked her up 23 and began driving north on 1-5. When D.B. asked what he was doing, Defendant replied 24 that she "worked for [him] now" and that he was going to take her up to the track in Everett 25 to prostitute for him. See PSR at ifl 1. Defendant gave D.B. some crack and dropped her off 26 at the track, telling her that he would pick her up in a few hours. Id Stranded in Everett 27 without money or a cell phone, D.B. convinced a male who approached her to drive her 28 back to Seattle in exchange for oral sex and $100. Id UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 4 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094113 1 Once she was back in Seattle, D.B. posted a prostitution advertisement on 2 Backpage.com. See PSR at if 12. A man, later identified as Cyprian, called the number on 3 the advertisement and arranged to pick her up at a nearby gas station. Id D.B. went there 4 at the appointed time, and Defendant arrived shortly thereafter. Id He told her to get in 5 the car and D.B., frightened, complied. Id Defendant drove away, and told her that he 6 wanted her to work for him and that they would make money together. Id D.B. said that 7 she felt "doomed" and believed that there was no way to get away from Defendant. See 8 Exhibit 2 at 1699. 9 D.B. said that Defendant began driving towards north on 1-5. On the way there, he 10 stopped the car and insisted that D.B. perform oral sex on him. See Exhibit 2 at 1699. 11 Defendant shoved D.B. 's head down on his lap. When she began vomiting, he made her 12 eat her own vomit. Id Defendant then told D.B. that they were going to stay at the Studio 13 6 Motel in Mountlake Terrace. See PSR at if 12. Upon hearing this, D.B. surreptitiously 14 texted one of her friends and told her to come rescue her. Id When Defendant and D.B. 15 pulled up to the Studio 6, her friends were there waiting. Id Defendant saw them and 16 immediately pulled out of the parking lot. Id He began berating D.B. and told her that he 17 couldn't trust her and would have to take away her phone. Id 18 Defendant then contacted one of his drug customers and arranged for a ride to 19 Portland, Oregon. See PSR at ifl2. Defendant rented a room at the Shiloh Inn, where 20 Defendant posted D.B. on Backpage.com and set rates for $140-$200 per sex act. Id 21 Defendant and D.B. stayed in Portland for approximately three days, during which time she 22 conducted approximately 30 commercial sex acts and gave all of her money to Defendant. 23 After this trip to Portland, Defendant brought D.B. back to the Studio 6 motel in 24 Mountlake Terrace. Once again, Defendant forced D.B. to perform oral sex on him. When 25 she began vomiting and crying, Defendant again made D.B. eat her vomit and told her 26 "hurry up and finish so you can get your crack." See PSR at if 12; Exhibit 2 at 1704 and 27 1706. 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 5 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094114 1 Over the next four months, Defendant had D.B. work for him as a prostitute out of 2 various hotels in Seattle, Everett, and Portland. See PSR at if13. Defendant would come to 3 her hotel room every morning and bring her a bag of crack cocaine. See id; Exhibit 2 at 4 1705. D.B. would then wait in her hotel room for sex customers, who had negotiated rates 5 with Defendant, to knock on her door. According to D.B., Defendant refused to let her have 6 a cell phone because he knew she would try to escape. See Exhibit 2 at 1706. D.B. 7 estimated that during the time she worked for Defendant, she engaged in at least five 8 commercial sex acts per day, with rates of $140-$200 per act. Id at 1706-1707. 9 D.B. collected the money from the sex purchasers, and gave all of her earnings to Defendant. See 10 PSR at if13. 11 D.B. also testified that Defendant used her crack cocaine addiction to exert control 12 over her and keep her working for him as a prostitute. She testified that Defendant usually 13 gave her crack before began engaging in commercial sex acts each morning, although in 14 Portland "he wouldn't drop off a sack to me. He would actually hold the crack and give it 15 to me like after a date or before a date." See Exhibit 2 at 1708. D.B. further stated that 16 Defendant's ability to procure crack was a significant reason why she kept working for him. 17 According to D.B., "he definitely knew I was addicted and, you know, that was his - that 18 was his hold." Id at 1705-06. 19 When asked if she was scared to leave, D.B. testified that she 20 ... definitely was scared. A lot of the reasons, just I would - and like so I wouldn't know where to go. Like I didn't have a phone, so I couldn't call anybody... I felt trapped and like I was stuck, you know what I mean? Like of course I was an addict. Like I needed my crack and I didn't- didn't have a place to go, and I had all my bags, so, you know, I'd be stuck carrying a whole bunch of stuff without a roof over my head. 21 22 23 24 25 Id at 1708. Defendant was physically violent with D.B. on numerous occasions. See PSR at ifl4. 26 D.B. testified that on one occasion he "hit [her] face with his fist and kicked [her] and ... 27 smacked [her] a few more times." See Exhibit 2 at 1709. On another occasion, Defendant 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 6 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094115 1 covered D.B. 's face with his hand so that she could not breathe. Id Once, when Defendant 2 learned that D.B. had done heroin, he punched her in the face and head. Id at 1710. On 3 May 20, 2014, Defendant was arrested for assaulting D.B. at a Days Inn hotel in Auburn. 4 According to D.B., he became angry when he learned that D.B. had been kicked out of her 5 hotel room. Defendant threw his keys at her, and then followed her into her hotel room, 6 where he hit her, tried to break her nose, shoved her face into the ground and placed his 7 knee on her back so she couldn't breathe. Id at 1710-1711. D.B. finally escaped Defendant 8 after he was arrested and detained after this incident. 9 III. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 10 On July 31, 2014, a grand jury sitting in the Western District of Washington returned 11 an indictment charging Defendant with one count of Sex Trafficking of FVl Through Force, 12 Fraud, and Coercion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §159l(a)(l) and (b)(l); one count of 13 Transportation of FVl for the Purpose of Prostitution through Coercion and Enticement, in 14 violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422(a); one count of Sex Trafficking ofFV2 Through Force, Fraud, 15 and Coercion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 159l(a)(l) and (b )(1); and one count of 16 Transportation of FV2 for the Purpose of Prostitution through Coercion and Enticement, in 17 violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422(a). See PSR at if I. 18 On December 15, 2014, Defendant pled guilty to a two-count Superseding 19 Information charging him with two counts of Human Trafficking of B.N. and D.B., in 20 violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 159l(a). See PSR at if2. Under the terms of 21 the plea agreement, the government agreed to advocate at sentencing for a term of 22 imprisonment of no more than 120 months. 23 IV. 24 PRESENTENCE REPORT AND ADVISORY GUIDELINES RANGE The Presentence Report accurately summarizes the offense conduct in this case, as 25 well as the total offense level, criminal history category, and resulting advisory Guidelines 26 range. 27 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 7 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094116 1 A. Total Offense Level for Count One (Human Trafficking of B.N.) 2 As set forth in the Presentence Report, the correct base offense level for Count One is 3 22. See Section 2H4. l(a)(l). 4 1. 5 The government also agrees with the Probation Office that a two-level enhancement Serious Bodily Injury 6 should be applied, pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(l)(B), because B.N. sustained "serious 7 bodily injury." The definition of "serious bodily injury" encompasses "injury involving 8 extreme physical pain or the protracted impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ, 9 or mental faculty." See Application Note l(L) to Section lBl. l. "In addition, 'serious 1o bodily injury' is deemed to have occurred if the offense involved conduct constituting 11 12 criminal sexual abuse" under federal or state law. Id The sworn grand jury testimony of B.N. makes clear that she suffered "serious bodily 13 injury" as a result of Defendant's physical abuse. As set forth above, Defendant punched 14 B.N. in the face and on the back of the head on multiple occasions. See Exhibit 1at1663, 15 1668-70. On at least occasion, Defendant's beating caused B.N.'s nose to bleed. Id at 16 1668-69. B.N. testified that Defendant's beatings caused her serious physical pain, thus 17 falling within the Guidelines definition of "serious bodily injury." See id at 1663. 18 In addition, the Guidelines definition of "serious bodily injury" also includes conduct 19 "constituting criminal sexual abuse" under state law. B.N. testified that the first night she 20 met Defendant, he physically "forced himself' on her, and had sex with her even though she 21 expressly told him she did not want to do so. See Exhibit 1 at 1657. This conduct 22 constitutes a violation of RCW 9A.44.060 (Rape in the Third Degree), which states that "a 23 person is guilty of rape in the third degree when ... such person engages in sexual 24 intercourse with another person where the victim did not consent as defined in RCW 25 9A.44.010(7), to sexual intercourse with the perpetrator and such lack of consent was 26 27 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 8 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094117 1 clearly expressed by the victim's words or conduct." 1 Accordingly, a two-level 2 enhancement pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(l)(B) is appropriate here. 3 2. 4 The government also agrees that a one-level enhancement should be applied, Period of Peonage/Involuntary Servitude 5 pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(3)(C), because B.N. was held in a condition of peonage or 6 involuntary servitude for more than 30 days but less than 180 days. See PSR at if7 (B.N. 7 "worked for [Defendant] as a prostitute between April and August 2013"). 8 3. 9 The government also agrees that a two-level enhancement should be applied, Commission of Another Felony Offense 10 pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(4)(A), because Defendant committed the felony offense of 11 drug distribution during the time he trafficked B.N. As noted above, B.N. testified that 12 Defendant sold crack cocaine and pills. See Exhibit 1at1681. She also testified that 13 Defendant gave her Oxycontin pills to consume during the time she was working for him. 14 Id B.N.'s statements are corroborated by the testimony ofD.B., who also stated that 15 Defendant sold crack cocaine, as well as his prior conviction for possession of cocaine. See 16 Exhibit 2 at 1693-94; PSR at if55. 17 Application of the above-described three enhancements results in a total adjusted 18 offense level of 27 for Count One. 19 B. Total Offense Level for Count Two (Human Trafficking of D.B.) 20 As set forth in the Presentence Report, the correct base offense level for Count Two 21 is 22. See Section 2H4. l(a)(l). 22 1. 23 The government agrees with the Probation Office that a two-level enhancement Serious Bodily Injury 24 should be applied, pursuant to Section 2H4.l(b)(l)(B), because the evidence makes clear 25 that D.B. sustained "serious bodily injury" as a result of Defendant's physical abuse. As set 26 forth above, on numerous occasions, Defendant hit D.B. in the face with his open fist, 27 1 28 RCW 9A.44.010(7) states that "consent" means that "at the time of the act of sexual intercourse or sexual contact there are actual words or conduct indicating freely given agreement to have sexual intercourse or sexual contact." UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 9 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094118 1 kicked her, and punched her in the face and head. See Exhibit 2 at 1709-10. On another 2 occasion, Defendant impaired her ability to breathe by covering her face with his hand. Id 3 at 1710. On the day he was arrested, Defendant attempted to break her nose and prevent her 4 from breathing. Id at 1710-1711. These beatings not only caused "serious physical pain" 5 for D.B., they also impaired the function of her ability to breathe, and thus fall within the 6 Guidelines definition of "serious bodily injury." 7 Defendant's repeated sexual assaults of D.B. also fall within the definition of 8 "serious bodily injury." D.B. testified that on two occasions, Defendant shoved her head 9 into his lap and forced her to perform oral sex on him. See Exhibit 2 at 1699, 1704-06. 10 Defendant did so despite the fact that D.B. began crying and vomiting. Id This conduct 11 clearly falls within the definition of RCW 9A.44.060 (Rape in the Third Degree). 2 12 Accordingly, a two-level enhancement pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(l)(B) is appropriate 13 here. 14 2. 15 The government also agrees that a one-level enhancement should be applied, Period of Peonage/Involuntary Servitude 16 pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(3)(C), because D.B. was held in a condition of peonage or 17 involuntary servitude for more than 30 days but less than 180 days. See PSR at if13. 18 3. 19 The government agrees with the Probation Office that a two-level enhancement Commission of Another Felony Offense 20 should be applied, pursuant to Section 2H4. l(b )(4)(A), because Defendant committed the 21 felony offense of drug distribution during the commission of the human trafficking offense. 22 As noted above, D.B. testified that she first met Defendant when he offered to sell her crack 23 cocaine on Rainier Avenue and that he soon became her main supplier. See Exhibit 2 at 24 1693-94. She also testified that after Defendant forced her to start working for him as a 25 prostitute, he exerted control over her by supplying her with crack before and after she 26 27 2 28 The definition of "sexual intercourse" includes "any act of sexual contact between persons involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another." See RCW 9A.44.010. UNITED STATES ATTORNEY UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 10 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094119 1 engaged in commercial sex acts. See id at 1696, 1706, 1708. D.B. 's testimony is 2 corroborated by that of B.N., as well as Defendant's criminal history. 3 4. 4 The government agrees with the Probation Office that a two-level enhancement Vulnerable Victim 5 should be applied, pursuant to Section 3Al. l(b )(1), because D.B. was a vulnerable victim. 6 A vulnerable victim is defined in the Commentary as "a person (A) who is a victim of the 7 offense of conviction and any conduct for which the defendant is accountable under § lB 1.3 8 (Relevant Conduct) and (b) who is unusually vulnerable due to age, physical or mental 9 condition, or who is otherwise particularly susceptible to the criminal conduct." In this 10 case, D.B. testified before the grandjurythat she was addicted to crack cocaine during the 11 time she worked for Defendant and, as a result of this addiction, she felt "trapped,'' "stuck" 12 and unable to leave Defendant. See Exhibit 2 at 1694, 1708. D.B.'s crack addiction 13 rendered her unusually vulnerable and particularly susceptible to Defendant's crimes 14 because Defendant used her addiction to coerce her into continuing to engage in commercial 15 sex act. 16 As described above, D.B. 's grand jury testimony demonstrated how Defendant plied 17 her with crack every day to induce her to engage in prostitution acts. See id at 1696 ("he 18 dropped me off, and he gave me a piece of crack and he said, 'Okay. I'll be back to pick 19 you up in an hour"') and 1705 ("every morning he would arrive anywhere from 9:00 to like 20 9: 00 or 11: 00 before checkout or whatever and come give me money for the room ... and 21 he would bring me a big like sack of crack"). Defendant also used his access to crack to 22 manipulate D.B. and make her follow his commands. See id at 1705-06 ("he definitely 23 knew I was addicted and ... that was his hold"); at 1708 ("in Portland, like he wouldn't 24 drop off a sack to me. He would actually hold the crack and give it to me like after a date or 25 before a date or something like that"); and at 1706 (while forcing D.B. to perform oral sex 26 on him, Defendant told her to "hurry up and finish so you can get your crack"). Because 27 D.B. saw Defendant as her only means of procuring enough crack to satisfy her addiction, 28 she felt like she had no option other than to work for him as a prostitute. See 1708 ("I felt UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 11 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094120 I trapped and like I was stuck ... like of course I was an addict ... I needed my crack"). 2 D.B. 's testimony demonstrates how Defendant used her crack cocaine addiction as a means 3 of coercion in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591. 4 To be clear, the government does not suggest that every human trafficking victim 5 who suffers from drug addiction is a "vulnerable victim" within the meaning of Section 6 3Al. l(b )(1). Certainly, there are trafficking cases in which a victim's drug addiction is 7 entirely irrelevant to the facts of the case. But this is not such a case. D.B. was a vulnerable 8 victim precisely because of her addiction. Defendant was well aware of D .B. 's addiction to 9 crack cocaine - indeed, before he was her pimp, he was her main supplier. He seized upon I 0 and cultivated her addiction in order to coerce her into continuing to engage in commercial 11 sex acts and providing all of her earnings to him. Defendant's coercion of D .B. was based 12 in large part upon his manipulation of her crack addiction. 13 Courts in other circuits have concluded that a victim's drug addiction can render her 14 "vulnerable" for purposes of Section 3A. l .(b)(I) particularly where, as here, a defendant's 15 distribution of a controlled substance to an addicted victim was done for the purpose of 16 committing the prohibited act. See, e.g., United States v. Harbison, 523 F. Appx. 569 (I Ith 17 Cir. 2013) (affirming application of Section 3Al. l enhancement where defendant provided 18 crack cocaine to addicted victim prior to committing a sexual offense against her); United 19 States v. Evans, 272 F.3d 1069, 1095 (8th Cir. 2001) (affirming application of Section 20 3A 1.1 enhancement where defendant took advantage of the victim's addiction 21 "encouraging and contributing to her addiction by furnishing her with drugs to prevent her 22 from leaving"); and United States v. Pavao, 948 F.2d 74, 78 (1st Cir. 1991) (affirming 23 application of Section 3A. l. l enhancement where victim was a "drug user" and "the 24 defendant knew it,'' and "played on that vulnerability" to carry out his scheme). 25 For all these reasons, a two-level enhancement pursuant to Section 3A. l. l is 26 warranted and should be applied. 27 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 12 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094121 1 C. Advisory Guidelines Range 2 Application of the above-described four enhancements results in a total adjusted 3 offense level of 29 for Count Two. 4 The multiple count adjustment, pursuant to Section 3Dl. l, results in a combined 5 adjusted offense level of 31. The government agrees that a three-level reduction for 6 acceptance of responsibility, pursuant to Sections 3El.l(a) and (b), should be applied, 7 resulting in a total offense level of 28. With a criminal history category of IV, this results 8 in an advisory guidelines range of 110 to 137 months. 9 D. 10 Defendant's Demand for Evidentiary Hearing The plea agreement in this matter represents a compromise by both parties. If 11 Defendant had been convicted at trial, he would have faced a mandatory minimum sentence 12 of 15 years and an advisory Guidelines range of 262 to 327 months. By pleading guilty, 13 Defendant saved the government and the judicial system considerable resources. More 14 importantly, however, Defendant's guilty pleas ensured that his victims would not be forced 15 to relive their abuse in excruciating detail at trial. As set forth above, in addition to being 16 forced into having sex with strangers for money, both victims were physically, sexually, and 17 emotionally abused by Defendant. D.B. in particular was forced to endure degrading acts of 18 physical and sexual violation during the time she was trafficked by Defendant. The 19 government's desire to avoid re-victimizing B.N. and D.B. by requiring them to recount 20 these horrific incidents in a public trial was its primary motivator for resolving the case in a 21 way that avoided Defendant facing a 15-year mandatory minimum sentence. 22 23 Now, however, the defense has advised both the government and the Probation Office that it "demands" an evidentiary hearing to resolve the disputed Guidelines 24 enhancements outlined above. As this Court is well aware, when resolving any disputed 25 matter important to a sentencing determination, the Court may consider relevant 26 information without regard to its admissibility under the rules of evidence, "provided that 27 the information has sufficient indicia of reliability to support its probable accuracy." See 28 Section 6Al.3. Attached to this sentencing memorandum are transcripts of the sworn UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 13 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094122 1 grand jury testimony of B.N. and D.B. See Exhibits 1and2. The government respectfully 2 submits that this sworn testimony is sufficient for this Court to resolve any disputes that 3 may arise regarding the proper advisory Guidelines range. See Commentary to Section 4 6Al.3 ("written statements of counsel or affidavits of witnesses may be adequate under 5 many circumstances" to resolve disputes that arise during the sentencing process). 6 In order to ensure that the Court has the ability to further inquire into any matters 7 raised in this sentencing memorandum, the government has subpoenaed D.B. to appear at 8 the sentencing hearing. At this time, the government does not intend to call D.B. as a 9 witness at the sentencing hearing. In the event that the Court has additional questions or 10 requires additional information before making a sentencing determination, the government 11 will call D.B. to the stand. 12 The government is aware that if D.B. does testify as witness, the defense will also 13 have the opportunity to question her. Based upon statements previously made by defense 14 counsel, the government anticipates that the defense may attempt to question D.B. about 15 acts of prostitution she may have engaged in before or after being trafficked by Defendant. 16 The government would object to any line of questioning concerning any sexual behavior of 17 D.B. umelated to Defendant as being entirely irrelevant to the only matter at issue in this 18 sentencing - the Defendant's conduct. The defense should not be permitted to present such 19 evidence or to cross-examine D.B. about it, as it has no evidentiary value and would only 20 serve to harass and embarrass D.B. Indeed, such a result would be completely at odds with 21 the rationale and impetus behind the plea resolution in this case. v. 22 23 SENTENCING RECOMMENDATION The government respectfully asks this Court to sentence Defendant to a term of 24 imprisonment of 120 months, to be followed by a three year term of supervised release. 25 This sentence, which is in the mid-range of the advisory Guidelines range as calculated by 26 the government and the Probation Office, is appropriate in light of the violent and abusive 27 nature of Defendant's conduct, his criminal history, and the need to protect the public from 28 Defendant's crimes. UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 14 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094123 1 In particular, the following Section 3553(a) factors support the government's 2 recommendation: 3 A. Nature and Circumstances of the Offense 4 As set forth above, Defendant exploited troubled young women to satisfy his own 5 desire of control over his victims and for his own financial benefit. Defendant seized upon 6 his victims' emotional vulnerabilities to exploit them. He viewed his victims as nothing 7 more than commodities to earn him money and treated them like objects who existed solely 8 to satisfy his sexual and material needs. 9 The seriousness of Defendant's crimes is magnified by his use of physical, mental, 10 and emotional coercion to prey upon and control his victims. Indeed, Defendant's sexual 11 assault of both B.N. and D.B. at the beginning of their relationship set the tone for the 12 power balance between them - both B.N. and D.B. knew that Defendant had the ability to 13 hurt them and did not care about their wants or needs. Tellingly, Defendant continued to 14 physically abuse both of his victims throughout the time he trafficked them. Both victims 15 testified that the slightest provocation could trigger a violent reaction from Defendant. On 16 multiple occasions, he punched, kicked, and hit his victims and tried to cut off their air 17 supply. As a result of Defendant's violence, both victims felt compelled to engage in 18 prostitution and provide him with all of their earnings. 19 Defendant used fear, false promises, and addictive drugs to convince his victims to 20 have sex with strangers and then give him every penny they earned so that he could buy 21 clothes, cars, and electronic equipment. Defendant felt no compunction over exploiting his 22 victims' vulnerabilities. Indeed, he used crack cocaine as both a carrot and stick with addict 23 D.B. -providing her with crack when she was earning money for him and withholding it 24 until she engaged in the requisite number of dates. As a result of their victimization by 25 Defendant, both B.N. and D.B. have suffered significant trauma. A significant sentence of 26 120 months is necessary to account for the severity and extent of Defendant's crimes. 27 28 UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 15 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094124 1 B. Defendant's Personal History and Characteristics/Need to Protect the Public 2 Defendant's background and criminal history further justifies the government's 3 recommended sentence. There is no doubt that Defendant had a chaotic and unstable 4 childhood, and that his father's substance abuse issues and absence negatively impacted him 5 in many ways. But while the government recognizes that Defendant's prior criminal 6 conduct appears to have been driven in large part by his upbringing, he nevertheless bears 7 ultimate responsibility for his conduct and the criminal actions he has engaged in as an 8 adult. Defendant is a manipulative and predatory person who has supported himself with 9 the prostitution profits of his victims. Throughout his adult life, Defendant has exhibited 10 nothing other than utter disregard for the law and a complete lack of respect for women. 11 Defendant's conduct as an adult - and the trauma and pain that conduct has inflicted on 12 others - weighs in favor of a significant sentence. 13 In addition, an examination of Defendant's personal characteristics and criminal 14 history strongly indicate both a history of violence against women and that he is prone to 15 living a lifestyle in which he preys upon women to financially support him. As set forth in 16 the pre sentence report, Defendant's prior offenses include numerous arrests and convictions 17 for robbery, theft, assault, harassment, and drug offenses. Based upon his past choices, 18 there is a strong likelihood that Defendant will revert to this type of conduct when he is 19 released from prison. Defendant's history suggests that he poses a very real danger to the 20 community and that he will likely continue to physically abuse and sexually exploit women 21 and sell illegal drugs upon his release. Accordingly, a significant sentence of 120 months 22 is warranted. 23 24 c. The Need for Adequate Deterrence to Criminal Conduct The sentence in this case must be severe enough to deter Defendant and others from 25 weighing the costs of a lenient sentence versus the benefits of having young women work 26 for them as prostitutes. There is a strong need to deter this type of exploitation of 27 vulnerable young women who are forced into sex trafficking. Stiff penalties are necessary 28 to discourage individuals from using emotional and physical coercion to force and UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 16 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094125 I manipulate women into sexual slavery. A sentence of 120 months will serve this goal. 2 Citizens of this district are entitled to know that individuals who exploit and beat women, 3 and manipulate them into working as prostitutes will suffer consequences commensurate 4 with their conduct. More importantly, the sentence must be significant enough to convince 5 Defendant that his victimization of women will not be tolerated and that he cannot support 6 himself through prostitution. 7 8 VI. RESTITUTION United States Code, Title 18, Section 1593, provides that the Court "shall order 9 restitution for any offense under this chapter." 18 U.S.C. § 1593(a). The restitution order 10 "shall direct the defendant to pay the victim ... the full amount of the victim's losses." 11 Those losses are defined to include "the greater of the gross income or value to the 12 defendant of the victim's services or labor or the value of the victim's labor as guaranteed 13 under the minimum wage and overtime guarantees of the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 14 U.S.C. § 201) et seq." See 1593(b)(l),(3). The amount of restitution to be paid must be 15 proved by the government by a preponderance of the evidence. 18 U.S.C. § 1593(b)(2) ("an 16 order of restitution under this section shall be issued and enforced in accordance with 17 section 3664 .... "); 18 U.S.C. § 3664(e) ("Any dispute as to the proper amount or type of 18 restitution shall be resolved by the court by the preponderance of the evidence. The burden 19 of demonstrating the amount of the loss sustained by a victim as a result of the offense shall 20 be on the attorney for the government."). "The preponderance standard should be applied in 21 a practical, common-sense way." See United States v. Savoie, 985 F.2d 612, 617 (1st Cir. 22 1993). A restitution calculation may be supported by hearsay so long as the hearsay has 23 sufficient indicia of reliability. Id 24 Section 1593(b)(3) defines the victim's losses as the greater of the value rendered to 25 the defendant or the value of the victim's labor as determined by the Fair Labor Standards 26 Act. In calculating restitution pursuant to Section 1593, courts have used various methods 27 to estimate the value of the victim's labor, including relying upon victims' grand jury 28 testimony about work they performed and prices charged for such work, and evidence of UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 17 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094126 1 work performed gathered during the course of the government's investigation. For instance, 2 in United States v. Charles Nash, CR12-23 RSM, Judge Martinez's restitution figures were 3 based upon the victims' sworn grand jury testimony, corroborated by Backpage.com 4 advertisements and hotel records, about the length of time they performed sex work for the 5 defendant, the average number of clients they had per day, and the average price charged 6 per client. The restitution figures were not exact accountings of the work performed and the 7 prices charged, but rather the Court's best estimation based upon the evidence. This method 8 of calculating restitution subsequently was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit. See United States 9 v. Nash, 558 Fed. Appx. 741, 742 (9th Cir. 2014) ("the district court did not err by relying 10 on the victims' sworn statements and the corroborating extrinsic evidence to establish the 11 amounts earned and the time periods during which the victims were under Nash's control. 12 The district court appropriately estimated, based upon the facts in the record, the victims' 13 losses with some reasonable certainty."). 14 Here, Defendant has admitted to using force, fraud and coercion to induce victims 15 B.N. and D.B. to work for him as prostitutes. During the course of the investigation, these 16 victims reported to law enforcement that during the time they worked for Defendant, he 17 forced them to work 7 days a week, and to be available 24 hours a day, responding to client 18 calls and doing sex work. The defendant did not provide his victims with any of these 19 earnings, other than a minimal amount to pay for food and personal expenses. In doing so, 20 Defendant generated enormous ill-gotten profits for himself, while simultaneously 21 depriving his victims of the value of using their own labor. The loss calculation as to both 22 victims is provided below. 23 A. Restitution Award to Victim B.N. 24 The amount of $70,000 in restitution is well supported by the agreed facts of the Plea 25 Agreement, as well as B.N. 's sworn grand jury testimony (attached hereto as Exhibit 1), 26 hotel records (attached hereto as Exhibit 3), and B.N. 's NCIC arrest report (attached hereto 27 as Exhibit 4). In Paragraph 10 of the Plea Agreement, Defendant admitted that beginning 28 in early 2013, and continuing for several months, Defendant had B.N. work for him as a UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 18 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094127 1 prostitute in various hotels in Seattle, Bellevue, and Portland, Oregon. Defendant further 2 acknowledged that he collected all of the proceeds of B.N. 's prostitution activities. 3 B.N. testified in front of the grand jury that she met Defendant the first week of April 4 2013. Exhibit 1 at Bates 1655. He immediately began recruiting her to work for him. B.N. 5 testified that after Defendant pressured her into having sex with him, she began working for 6 him the next day. Id at 1658. According to B.N., the first hotel Defendant put her up in 7 was the Ramada Inn in Sea-Tac. Id at 1658. Ramada-SeaTac records, attached hereto as 8 Exhibit 3, show that Defendant rented a room for two guests at 1:26 a.m. on April 4, 9 2013. See Exhibit 3 at 277-78. Accordingly, April 4, 2013 should be used as the start date 10 for Defendant's trafficking of B.N. 11 B.N. testified that she worked for Defendant until August 2013. During that time 12 period, there was one occasion when she was in jail for a period of time. B.N. 's NCIC 13 arrest report, attached hereto as Exhibit 4, indicates that she was arrested on June 18, 14 2013. See Exhibit 4 at 3294. Although the NCIC report does not indicate how much time 15 she served, B.N. estimated during her grand jury testimony that she was in jail for 16 approximately 40 days. See Exhibit 1at1673. B.N. was also arrested in a Bellevue PD 17 sting on April 27, 2013, see Exhibit 4 at 3295, but did not serve any time - in fact, she 18 testified that Defendant made her get back to work as soon as she was released. See Exhibit 19 1at1672. 20 B.N. testified that after she got out of jail, she worked for Defendant for 21 approximately two more weeks. See Exhibit 1 at 1674. She also testified that she left 22 Defendant at various points. Specifically, B.N. testified that she left him for ten days right 23 before she went to jail and also left him for "a few days" on a few other occasions before 24 going back. See Exhibit 1 at 1673 andl664. 25 B.N. testified she worked for Defendant seven days a week, and was on call 24 hours 26 a day. See Exhibit 1at1662. She estimated that she did an average of ten to twelve 27 commercial sex acts per day, and that her rates were between $100 and $140 per sex 28 act. See Exhibit 1 at 1662. She gave all her earnings to Defendant. See Exhibit 1 atl667; UNITED STATES v. CYPRIAN/14CR236 RSL GOVERNMENT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM - 19 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY 700 STEWART STREET, SUITE 5220 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON98101 (206) 553-7970 KC-DemandAbolition-094128 1 Paragraph 10 of Plea Agreement. Giving all benefits of the doubt to Defendant, the 2 government calculates that B.N. earned a minimum of $1,000 per day for Defendant. Using the conservative figure of $1,000 per day, the government calculates 3 4 restitution based upon the following number of days during these time periods: 5 Time Period Number of Days Rate of $1,000/day 6 April 4, 2013 to June 8, 2013 7 (B.N. testified that she left Defendant ten days before 8 she went to jail on June 18, 9 2013) 66 days $66,000 14 days $44,000 -10 days -$10,000 70 days $70,000 19 B. Restitution Award to D.B. 20 Similarly, the attached exhibits support a restitution award of $91,700 to D.B. 21 D.B. testified in front of the grand jury that she began working for Defendant in 22 January 2014, and worked for him continuously until he was arrested on May 20, 2014. 23 D.B. testified that the first hotel Defendant put her up in was the Shilo Inn in Portland. See 24 Exhibit 2 at 1702. Shilo Inn records indicate that Cyprian rented a room for two adults from 25 1/13/14-1/15/14. See Exhibit 5 at 291. D.B. estimated that she engaged in at least 30 26 commercial sex acts at the Shiloh Inn, with rates of between $140-$200 per sex act. See 27 Exhibit 2 at 1703. After that, she estimated that she did "at least five" dates per day, at the 28 UNITED STATES v.

Everything you have written is absolutely true. In Sweden it took between 10-20 years of lobbying before the law against sex purchasing was passed. The speed with which we are moving is dizzying. This is truly something to celebrate. And, thank you, Heidi, for leading the way. On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 4:44 PM, Marin Malisa wrote: I am told that SB 5277 will be dying in Rules today at 5:00 PM. I'm sad to tell you this. That said, I must also tell you that what stands out for me is the following: we did an amazing job and we made amazing progress. Despite everyone's extremely busy schedules, we all took the time to do the work when it needed doing. We pulled together. Along the way we educated many legislators. We've learned more about the opposition and where it lies. We have new allies, and we've refined our strategies and our own thinking. And we made it through the Senate unanimously, and out of the House exec commmittee. We have paved the way for next time. True social change is incremental, and our efforts over the past few weeks is a major increment-both on SB 5277 and HB 2668, the vacate bill. While we would have preferred that these bills pass this session, I truly believe that when it comes to the enormity of the type of social change we are working toward, success cannot be measured merely by passfail type events. Rather, it is truly measured by the effort itself, the fact that the effort was made, and by its continuing-by the indefatigability of all those who made and continue to make the effort. So in that light, congratulations, not condolences, are in order. Congratulations to us all for our great efforts, on this bill and everything else we do in our work.

Very weak English and so nervous I felt bad for her. She told me when she answered the door her "heart felt like" and then she struck her chest with her palm repeatedly. But she warmed quick/~ was very charming and smiled brightly. And she was great in bed from the first. Now she's a polished~ very smooth performer and still sizzles but I think the personality I saw that morning was the real Chloe. KC-DemandAbolition-094156 Suspect quote • Had a wonderful time with Yu Ri and I hope to repeat soon I Just don't forget to oogle those magnificent breasts of hers! You'll love how hard she works to make them sway and bounce for you! Side Note: Seattle is a new stop for her and she needs reviews to pick up her business if she is to return.

I don't know how the market is going to sustain this amount of top talent but I've decided to stop caring about it and ride the K-train until it crashes to a halt. KC-DemandAbolition-094159 Suspect quote • Too many ways to trace calls and history back to your phone (and yourself) if you use an opp like Google Voice. Yes,, its unlikely that a warrant will be used to back trace a mac address,, IP address,, opp account records,, etc...,, but if you're ever asked to surrender your phone,, which one are you going to be more concerned with turning over? Your personal phone that has all kinds of hobby history attached to it,, or the burner phone that you ''found on the ground" and has no traceable connection back to you? KC-DemandAbolition-094160 Suspect quote, cont. • For maximum peace of mind~ just buy a tracfone {$5-$75 dollars) with cash and refill it as needed. When I received a call from King County Sheriffs office last year (probably because I butt dialed 911}~ I freaked and just threw the phone away. End of story. If I used an app on my personal phone and had to do that then it would have been an expensive lesson to learn.

Convictions while trafficked make it very difficult to establish a normal life. Do you support HB 2668 to help survivors move on with their lives? {If yes} Thank you! I appreciate it so much and know that this law will make a difference in the lives of those who need our support. {If no} I hope that you will reconsider.

SUMMARY King County has been involved in addressing the issue of human trafficking-and the sub-issue of the commercial sexual exploitation of children-in many ways over the years. Initiatives and activities that the County has spearheaded or with which the County has been involved include: • the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office (PAO) Buyer Beware pilot launched in 2014 in collaboration with the Organization for Prostitution Survivors (OPS) 1 ; • work by the King County Sheriff's Office Street Crimes Unit in making reduction in child sexual exploitation a major emphasis; • Motion 13694, which called for the Executive and Metro Transit to develop an anti-human trafficking public awareness campaign, which launched in 2013; • the development of an information and resource website by Public HealthSeattle & King County in connection with the 2013 campaign; • County participation in WashACT, a multi-disciplinary taskforce convened by the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington; • launching a second awareness campaign per Motion 14083 in 2015; • becoming a founding partner of the BEST Employers Alliance in 2015 2 ; and • spearheading the King County Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) Task Force. This briefing focuses on the work of the King County CSEC Task Force, the mission of which is to ensure the safety and support of commercially sexually exploited children and to prevent further exploitation by coordinating efforts and collaboratively providing victim services to youth ages 12 to 24 throughout the County. 1 2 http://seattleops.org/about-us/ http://www.bestalliance.org/employers-alliance.html KC-DemandAbolition-094290 BACKGROUND Under federal law, human trafficking victims can be adults who are eighteen or over and who are induced into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion, children under 18 induced into commercial sex and children and adults induced to perform "labors and services" through force, fraud, or coercion. 3 Different entities define Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) somewhat differently. The International Labor Organization (ILO) notes that CSEC is one form of human trafficking that includes the following circumstances: the use of girls and boys in sexual activities remunerated in cash or in kind; trafficking of girls and boys and adolescents for the sex trade; child sex tourism; the production, promotion and distribution of pornography involving children; and the use of children in sex shows. 4 The mission of the King County CSEC Task Force is to ensure the safety and support of children who have been commercially sexually exploited and to prevent further exploitation. Through its member agencies providing victim services countywide for exploited and at-risk youth, those in the CSEC Task Force employ a victimcentric, collaborative approach to helping youth between the ages of 12 and 24. The taskforce has two primary focus areas. First, the provision of comprehensive, trauma informed, specialized services for youth delivered by member agencies and individuals who participate in multi-disciplinary teams. Second, training individuals to identify at-risk and exploited youth-including through the development of a universal screening tool to be used in Juvenile Court and Child Welfare. Timeline. Having received seed technical assistance and training funding from the Center for Children and Youth Justice 5 , the KC CSEC Task Force was first convened in April of 2013 as one of five initial sites across Washington State. The task force held its first training in May, with additional ones in October and December of 2013 resulting in over 100 people trained in the first year. As of July 22, 2013, the task force was temporarily- and 0.5 FTE-staffed through a grant from Stolen Youth 6 . King County Superior Court continued the funding at 0.75 FTE when the Stolen Youth grant expired. Task force meetings have been on a quarterly basis since fall of 2013 with smaller subcommittee meetings happening on a more frequent schedule. In the summer of 2014, task force partner agencies, King County Superior Court, CCYJ, Children's Administration, and YouthCare 7 collaboratively wrote and received 3 See Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgiand Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2013 (TVPRA 2013), passed as an amendment to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) bin/query/D?c106:5:./temp/~c106GZiZXT::) ~https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/898).

That grant, which expires in September of 2019, in addition to support from Stolen Youth, King County, and the City of Seattle, has enabled the work of the CSEC Task Force to expand. The federal grant funded work is often called the King County CSEC Program. This is for clarity of federal required reporting on grant funded activities. The CSEC Program is the federally funded aspects of Task Force activity. Partners and Program. Currently, the work of the CSEC Task Force and Program has four components: coordination and awareness, advocate-linked services, evaluation, and systemic change. Coordination and Awareness: The task force and program work to coordinate outreach and awareness. YouthCare and CCYJ provided initial CSEC training and funds from the CSEC program have increased training capacity. Training is currently provided free in King County for any individuals who may come in contact with youth victims of commercial sexual exploitation or youth at-risk of such exploitation. The participants learn to recognize the signs of commercial sexual exploitation or risk for the same and learn how to refer a youth for services. Recognizing the limitations of a small staff and volunteer time, the CSEC program is also rolling out a train-thetrainers curriculum, written by YouthCare, thereby hoping to expand the capacity to train individuals county- and statewide. The CSEC program has contracted with CCYJ to provide YouthCare's training throughout Washington State. To increase capacity to reach communities of color, the CSEC Program is providing funding for an ethnic-specific community outreach specialist to be sited at People of Color Against Aids Network (POCAAN) 8 . Advocate-Linked Services: Through five advocates located at the Organization of Prostitution Survivors as well as at YouthCare, Auburn Youth Resources 9 , and Friends of Youth 10 (collectively the Bridge Collaborative) 11 , referred youth who are identified as being at-risk or being actively exploited are connected to comprehensive services through and with the help of an advocate. Advocates work to build trust with youth and, once youth decide and consent to enroll in services, advocates connect youth to those services they together determine are necessary. Advocates carry the young person's case through its duration and follow youth through multiple, sometimes complex systems. Advocates also staff a 24/7 hotline (1.855.400.CSEC). Evaluation: As part of the Federal grant award and with supplementation from King County Superior Court Trial Court Improvement Funds, the CSEC Program is being evaluated by the University of Washington to determine the efficacy of its multidisciplinary, victim-centric approach. The evaluation team is also studying the 8 http://www.pocaan.org/ http://ayr4kids.org/ 10 http://www.friendsofyouth.org/ 11 The Bridge Collaborative is a regional response to sexually exploited youth and young adults operated through a partnerships between YouthCare, Friends of Youth and Auburn Youth Resources 9 KC-DemandAbolition-094292 coordination and collaboration of Task Force member agencies and how to increase communication, cooperation, and collaboration across various disciplines. Systemic Change: The CSEC Program works on systemic change through funding staff at the State of Washington Children's Administration. King County CSEC Program funds 0.5 FTE with the state providing an additional 0.5 FTE for a 1.0 FTE Children's Administration CSEC Liaison. Accomplishments. Among their accomplishments, the King County CSEC Task Force member agencies and CSEC Program report the following: • Trained over 500 individuals in King County at youth behavioral health agency trainings, community trainings, and law enforcement agencies; • Had 135 unique youth referrals for youth between the ages of 12 and 24; • Out of referred youth, 81 percent received follow up services; and • 97 multi-disciplinary teams have been called to address critical needs of youth enrolled in the Bridge Collaborative.

SUMMARY Motion 14083 was unanimously passed by the Metropolitan King County Council on February 24, 2014. It requested the King County Executive to support efforts to combat human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children through the development and placement of human trafficking outreach information in certain locations across King County including in county facilities, where trafficked individuals and the public might see the materials, with the goal of increasing awareness about these issues and providing a potential lifeline for individuals who have been trafficked. The report on the campaign outlines the creation of the motion team, who collaborated on the work requested in the motion, and the work performed pursuant to Motion 14083. Despite minor deviations from the requirements outlined in the motion, the report evidences the work undertaken to have fulfilled the substantive requirements of the motion. In addition to outlining the work of the motion work group, the report describes three additional findings that emerged from the work group's discussions and analyses, which they proffer for consideration under the following titles: Intentional Planning and Coordination, Strategic Action Plan and Staffing Assessment. BACKGROUND Human Trafficking Generally Under federal law, human trafficking victims include adults who are eighteen or over and who are induced into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion, children under 18 induced into commercial sex and children and adults induced to perform "labors and 1 of 5 KC-DemandAbolition-094294 services" through force, fraud, or coercion. 1 Statistics on human trafficking are difficult to pin down. Most in the field understand the crime to be significantly under-reported and understand estimates available to reflect an incomplete picture. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally, of which it estimates 55% are women and girls. 2 Statistics from the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) show 500 calls to its hotline from Washington State and 122 human trafficking cases in Washington State in 2014, of which 99 were sex trafficking related and 15 were labor trafficking related. 3 As of March 31, 2015, NHTRC's hotline had received 5,212 calls and Washington State had reported 24 cases. The 2008 Washington State Task Force Report on the Trafficking of Persons noted that at that time trafficking had occurred in 18 Washington State counties. 4 In a 2014 countrywide assessment of legal frameworks, Polaris, a human trafficking policy and advocacy organization, identified Washington State as a tier one state, indicating its having a legal regime that included all ten categories of state statutes the ors9anization identified as "critical to a comprehensive anti-trafficking legal framework." While this rating does not provide for implementation or efficacy, it does recognize the existence of a framework in Washington State that includes laws in the following categories: Sex Trafficking; Labor Trafficking; Asset Forfeiture for Human Trafficking; Investigative Tools for Law Enforcement; Training on Human Trafficking for Law Enforcement; Human Trafficking Commission or Task Force; Lower Burden of Proof for Sex Trafficking of Minors; Posting of a Human Trafficking Hotline; Safe Harbor - Protecting Sex Trafficked Minors; Victim Assistance; Access to Civil Damages; and Vacating Convictions for Sex Trafficking Victims. 6 Thus, in addition to being the first state to criminalize human trafficking in 2003, Washington State is recognized as having some of the strongest anti-human trafficking laws in all 50 states. In King County, work on the issue of human trafficking has included a range of initiatives over the years. The report outlines some of these, which include work by the King County Prosecutor's Office focusing on reducing demand for commercial sex, work by the King County Sherriff's Office Street Crimes Unit to make reduction of child sexual exploitation an area of emphasis, work by King County Metro Transit in 2011 in creating Safe Place locations aboard Metro Transit buses and, in answer to Motion 13694 in 2012, launching an anti-trafficking transit public awareness campaign involving over 200 buses, among other work. 1 See Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVP A) of 2000 :) and Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2013 (TVPRA 2013), passed as an amendment to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) (https://www.congress.gov/bill/113thcongress/house-bill/898). 2 International Labor Organization, "ILO Global Estimate of Forced Labour: Results and Methodology," available at http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_ norm/---declaration/documents/publication/wcms_ 182004 .pdf. 3 National Human Trafficking Resource Center, "Hotline Statistics," available at http://www.traffickingresourcecenter.org/states. 4 Office of Crime Victims Advocacy, "Washington State Task Force against the Trafficking of Persons," State of Washington Community, Trade and Economic Development available at http://www.commerce.wa.gov/Documents/OCVA-HT-2008-HT-Report.pdf. 5 Polaris, "Washington State Report: State Ratings 2014," available at http://www.polarisproject.org/storage/documents/2014 _State_Reports/Washington_ State_Report.pdf. 6 Ibid. Page 2 of 5 KC-DemandAbolition-094295 King County's Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign per Motion 14083 Motion 14083 requested that the executive: 1. Develop human trafficking awareness materials that clearly displayed contact information for an existing national anti-human trafficking or exploited children organization and included a telephone number and email address; 2. Make those materials accessible in multiple languages based on input from the Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network (WARN); 3. Effectuate the campaign by January 11, 2015, to correspond with AntiHuman Trafficking Awareness Day; and 4. Transmit to Council by September 18, 2014 a report on the implementation of the campaign that included: a. A list of the King County facilities that will display the materials and their locations throughout King County; b. A list of partner entities that have agreed to display the materials and their locations throughout King County and a memoranda of agreement or other documentation necessary to enable postings to occur; c. Identification of an ongoing process to invite future partner entities to display the human trafficking public information materials; and d. A plan for ensuring that the posting of human trafficking public information materials occurs on an ongoing basis. The Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign report was transmitted to council on February 28, 2015. It outlines the Executive's approach, which was informed by the key components of a successful public outreach campaign as enumerated by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center's (NHTRC) online training on conducting public outreach campaigns. The campaign report also outlines the work team assembled. That team included representatives from Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network (WARN), King County Transit Division, King County Sheriff's Office, King County Department of Community and Human Services, King County Public Health-Seattle and King County, King County Council, King County Superior Court, and King County Prosecutor's Office. According to the report, the work group collaborated to develop and implement the outreach campaign including selecting materials and determining potential placement sites. By consensus, the group selected for dissemination a poster produced by Seattle Against Slavery and WARN, which was made available at no charge to King County through WARN, as this would maximize and leverage existing materials. An image of that poster is in Appendix A of the attached report. The poster has the phone number for the NHTRC hotline and is available in seven languages, including English. NHTRC is a national anti-trafficking hotline and resource center that serves victims and survivors of Page 3 of 5 KC-DemandAbolition-094296 human trafficking as well as the anti-trafficking community in the United States; the toll-free hotline is available to answer calls from anywhere within the U.S., 24-hour hours a day, every day of the year in over 200 languages using a 24-hour tele-interpreting service. There is no email address on the poster because, in order to conserve resources, the county used a pre-existing poster design. Seattle Against Slavery consulted with staff on placement of the materials and their volunteers collaborated with the workgroup to deliver the posters to facilities and locations county-wide. According to OCHS, the campaign was underway by January 11, 2015. Appendix B of the report outlines the organizations that, as of the writing of the report, have agreed to participate in the campaign and post the materials, including their King County locations. OCHS staff note that since that time additional agencies have chosen to participate. The report does not include a memoranda of agreement or other documentation necessary to enable the postings to occur but notes that the work group determined that a formal memoranda was not necessary for this campaign and that agreement by email would suffice. Motion 14083 also required that the report identify an ongoing process to invite future partner entities to participate in the campaign by displaying materials and a plan for ensuring that postings occur on an ongoing basis. The report notes that the work initiated by the motion is ongoing both in terms of receiving input and requests from the community and conducting outreach to potential campaign partners. For 2015, the report notes that staff has been designated within OCHS to continue to track and monitor the campaign. The report points out that there is no specific provision beyond 2015 in terms of staffing and it notes a need for Executive departments to review staffing plans and workloads to identify staff that may potentially be detailed to human trafficking planning and analysis, rather than assigning staff to this work on an ad hoc basis. The report identifies a need to take a holistic approach in this assessment that accounts for a context of declining revenues, workload impacts, emerging priorities, and the department budget process. Additionally, while not required by Motion 14083, the work group's conversations and analysis led to the identification of three additional findings. These are included in the report and are as follows: Intentional Planning and Coordination: The report advances the idea that the issue of human trafficking and the county's response would benefit from intentional planning, collaboration, and potential coordination of all the activities related to human trafficking across King County government. Strategic Action Plan: The report notes that the county may consider working collaboratively with stakeholders both internal and external to the county to create a comprehensive strategic action plan that articulates the county's direction or path in this area of work. Page 4 of 5 KC-DemandAbolition-094297 Staffing Assessment: The report notes that a staffing assessment and subsequent permanent staff allocation may be appropriate to facilitate ongoing coordination of this work. ANALYSIS The report notes that the work completed substantively complied with the requirements of Motion 14083. Staff has identified three deviations from the requirements of Motion 14083: the date of the report's transmittal, later than the deadline outlined in the motion, the lack of an email address on the poster and the decision to forego a formal memoranda of agreement in lieu of email assent to participation from partnering agencies and organizations. None of these requirements appear to have had a pejorative impact on the ability to launch the campaign. In terms of email vs. memoranda agreement, the present staffing model and the campaign's extensive use of volunteers for dissemination, are more in line with a less formal agreement, as determined by the work group. With regards to the missing email address on the poster, it is unclear whether there is any impact related to this omission. Lastly, the limits of the ad hoc staffing model and plan presented may pose limitations beyond 2015 to the department's ability to ensure both, that the posting of human trafficking public information materials occurs on an ongoing basis and that this work is well-coordinated with other county-wide, regional and state efforts in this field. CONCLUSION The reported activities appear to fulfill the substantive requirements of Motion 14083.

The purpose of the program is to increase public awareness of human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children using placement of human trafficking public awareness materials in, but not limited to, county facilities such as the jail, public health clinics, transit centers, courthouses, hospitals, shelters and other locations where trafficked individuals and the public may see the information. Executive Response to the Motion Motion Team: As directed by the motion, a team comprised of representatives from the Prosecutor's Office and Sheriff's Office, the departments of Public Health-Seattle & King County and Community and Human Services, Metro Transit, Superior Court, the Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network (WARN) and the Council worked together on the development of materials and potential placement of the materials. Seattle Against Slavery consulted in this process. Materials: The poster that was selected by the work team for the posting was produced by Seattle Against Slavery and WARN and made available to King County through WARN. The poster messaging is in seven languages, including English. A version of the same poster is used in state-operated rest area restrooms. As required in the legislation, the phone number on the poster is the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline. The group's consensus was that to the extent possible, the county should maximize and leverage existing materials rather than creating new ones. See Appendix A for the poster. Posting Locations: Working with the motion team, staff reached out to a broad array of health and human services providers and criminal justice partners via email, phone, and in person with the invitation to participate in the posting campaign. The provider and partner response was tremendous. Collectively, the staff work team and providers identified nearly 100 community agencies and partner organizations to invite to post the materials. The robust inventory of agencies and organizations span all geographic areas of King County, and service a diverse population, including youth and those who are, or are at risk of, being trafficked. As of the writing of this report, over 40 agencies, many with multiple locations, volunteered to participate in the campaign and post signs in locations across King Page 3 of 26 KC-DemandAbol ition-094301 County. Of particular note are community agencies and locations where individuals who may be trafficked could potentially see the information, including King County's public health clinics, community health clinics, school-based health clinics, behavioral health providers, and shelters. In addition to external entities, King County jail facilities, the King County Prosecutor's Office, courts, and Sheriff's Office precincts have agreed to post the materials. Seattle Against Slavery volunteered to deliver posters to the entities and locations identified. See Appendix B for a list of agencies and entities participating in the posting campaign as of February 13, 2015. Ongoing Process and Planning: The work initiated by this motion is ongoing, with staff continuing to receive suggestions and requests, along with conducting outreach to potential campaign partners. With regard to the motion's requirements of identifying an ongoing process to invite future partner entities to display the human trafficking public information materials and establishing a plan for ensuring that the posting of human trafficking public information materials occurs on an ongoing basis, the staff work team recommends that these tasks be assigned to an employee of the Executive branch whose body of work explicitly includes human trafficking activities. For 2015, a staff member within the Department of Community and Human Services has been identified who will continue to track and monitor the human trafficking posting program, including working with contract monitors, providers, and others to identify new organizations or entities that may be contacted to participate in the program. This staff member currently performs other human trafficking monitoring and analysis-related activities for the Executive branch. Looking forward to 2016 and beyond, there is a need for Executive departments to review staffing plans and workloads to identify staff that may potentially be detailed to human trafficking planning and analysis, rather than assigned on an ad hoc basis. Given declining revenues and workload impacts, the question of allocating staff to human trafficking work on an ongoing basis must be examined within the context of emerging priorities through the departmental budget processes. Conclusion and Findings: The work group concludes that the directives and intent of Motion 14083 were met. Further, as a result of the work group's discussions, additional findings are included in this report. Below is a summary of the findings: 1. Intentional Planning and Coordination: The issue of human trafficking and the county's response to it would benefit from intentional planning, collaboration, and potential coordination of the county's various human trafficking activities across King County government. Page 4 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094302 2. Strategic Action Plan: The county may wish to consider working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to create a comprehensive strategic action plan for human trafficking similar to the Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States1 . 3. Staffing Assessment: In order to facilitate coordination and analysis of the growing body of human trafficking work in an environment of declining revenues and growing workloads, the Executive and Council, in consultation with other stakeholders, may wish to consider allocating staff to human trafficking work on an ongoing basis. This feasibility review must be examined within the context of emerging priorities and county budget processes. Background Human Trafficking Defined Human trafficking is commonly known as a form of modern-day slavery in which individuals are compelled into work or service through force, fraud, or coercion 2 . Victims of human trafficking include children involved in the commercial sex trade, adults age eighteen or over who are forced, coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced, coerced, or deceived into different forms of "labor or services" 3 , such as domestic workers held in a home, restaurant, construction, or farm workers forced to labor against their will. Victims are lured away from family and friends by the promise of a better life, often in another country. They are forced to perform both legal and illegal work ranging from prostitution to exotic dancing, street peddling to housekeeping, child care to construction and landscaping. Some victims are forced to work in restaurants, nail salons, and factories and are drawn into servile marriages and various criminal activities. Victims are controlled physically, through beatings, burnings, rapes, and starvation; emotionally, through isolation, psychological abuse, drug dependency, and threats against family members; and financially, through debt bondage and the threat of deportation. Escape is difficult because victims are often invisible in the US: some victims don't speak English; they're afraid to approach authorities because they don't want to be deported; they have no idea where they are or how to get help; and they are 1 Coordination, Collaboration, Capacity: Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States 2013-2017. 2014. 2 "Homeland Security."

The trauma can be so great that many may not identify themselves as victims or ask for help, even in highly public settings 4 . Human Trafficking Key Facts and Data Points Human trafficking is considered to be one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world 5 . At the same time, data on human trafficking is notoriously difficult to obtain and specific jurisdictional or regional data is practically impossible to identify, as noted in the October 2013 Proviso Response Report provided to the King County Council (Motion 14078). Further, different organizations obtain and show different data and numbers, particularly in the debate on whether labor trafficking includes sex trafficking. Below are some key data points that may be helpful in contextualizing human trafficking. Please note that there are widely different figures generated on the scope of human trafficking by reputable organizations and entities, illustrating the challenges of identifying data for the issue of human trafficking. The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally, with hundreds of thousands in the United States 6 . The victims of this crime in the U.S. are men, women, and transgendered individuals; adults and children; and, foreign nationals and U.S. citizens. In addition, while there are no available statistics, it is estimated that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) youth are trafficked at a disproportionate rate to their straight peers. This is mostly due to the fact that LGBT youth are often "throwaways" in addition to "runaways." In its data collection efforts, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) recorded the following information 7 : 4 "Homeland Security." Definition of Human Trafficking. 22 December 2014.

Calls to NHTRC most likely reflect a higher percentage of calls regarding sex trafficking because of public attention and response to that side of human trafficking. To illustrate the challenge of data, it is commonly understood by organizations working to assess the issue of human trafficking from a comprehensive perspective, such as the International Labor Organization, that nonsexual labor trafficking makes up the significant percentage (80 percent) of human trafficking worldwide 8 . In 2003, Washington was the first state to criminalize human trafficking and has some of the strongest anti-human trafficking laws among the 50 states. Washington State has been described as a focal point for the recruitment, transportation and sale of people for labor, due in part to its abundance of ports, proximity to an international border, vast rural areas and dependency on agricultural workers. Seattle is part of a trafficking circuit that can include Honolulu, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Portland, Vancouver (Clark County), Yakima and Canada. The 2008 Washington State Task Force Report on the Trafficking of Persons 9 notes that trafficking has occurred in 18 Washington state counties, victims ranging from "mail-order" brides to sex workers to domestic workers and children. Local victims have come from as far as Russia, the Philippines, China and Mexico. 8 "Facts and Figures." Forced Labour, Human Trafficking and Slavery. International Labour Organization, United Nations. Web. 11 Feb. 9 http://www.commerce.wa.gov/Programs/PublicSafety/OCVA/Pages/Publications Page 7 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094305 Local Human Trafficking Initiatives and Activities King County Response to Human Trafficking King County has been involved with the issue of human trafficking in many ways over the years. Below are a few selected initiatives and activities of King County agencies and departments. King County Prosecutor's Office: Among those leading the charge on fighting human trafficking in King County is the King County Prosecutor's Office (PAO). The PAO has long been at the forefront of issues surrounding human trafficking, dedicating deputy prosecutor time and resources to building cases against criminal human traffickers and the sex buyers who drive the market. The office also works collaboratively across the region with law enforcement and other organizations on human trafficking. The PAO attorneys also participate on a number of task forces and groups. Of particular note is the Buyer Beware pilot project launched by the PAO in 2014 in collaboration with the Organization for Prostitution Survivors (OPS) and funded by a grant from Demand Abolition. The Buyer Beware project goal is to reduce the demand for commercial sex by 20 percent in two years. The project will measure the volume of demand at the street level and online. A significant reduction in demand will decrease harm to prostituted persons, reduce self-destructive behaviors of buyers, and curb sex trafficking. The PAO will focus on reducing demand for commercial sex by targeting buyers directly. The strategy will coordinate law enforcement emphasis on buyers and initiate a public deterrence campaign targeted at buyers using the internet. The OPS will focus on intervention with sex buyers post-conviction as a condition of sentence. This strategy will support development of an advanced curriculum for use throughout King County. This strategy will also focus on public awareness through bystander education efforts. Please see Appendix F for further information on Buyer Beware. King County Sheriff's Office: The King County Sheriff's Office Street Crimes Unit has made the reduction of child sexual exploitation a major emphasis and works throughout the county, but especially in the southern part of the county, targeting prostitution and pimps. As part of its efforts, deputies have gone beyond enforcement efforts to develop other means to reduce child exploitation. King County Metro Transit: In 2011, King County recognized the link between run away and vulnerable youth and transit by designating King County Metro buses as a National Safe Place partner. National Safe Place is an outreach program designed to provide access to immediate help and safety for all youth in crisis. Locally, Safe Place is a community initiative that designates schools, fire stations, libraries and transit as Safe Page 8 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094306 Place sites where youth can access help and supportive resources. Safe Place locations provide access to the local youth service agency or shelter to support teens in crisis situations, creating a safety net for youth. Drivers receive training as well. In 2012 via Motion 13694, the Council called for the Executive and Metro Transit to develop an anti-human trafficking transit public awareness campaign recognizing that one of the first key steps toward fighting any crime is helping communities become aware of it and organizing locally-driven actions and education to prevent the crime from occurring 10. In response to the motion, the Executive brought together an interdepartmental team to research and develop the Metro campaign. The campaign was launched in January 2013 and coincided with International Human Trafficking Awareness Day. It involved over 200 buses in King County reaching thousands of citizens. Of note is that the 2013 King County Metro ad campaign is currently featured in the National Human Trafficking Resource Center's public outreach training as an example of successful outreach campaigns. The training can be found at this Website: http: //trafficking re sou rcecenter. org/reso urces/hu man-trafficking-pub Iic-outreachcam pa igns Public Health: Public Health-Seattle &King County created a Website as part of its work with Metro on Motion 13694. The Website contains human trafficking information for the public, including warning signs and a list of resources. County Participation in WashACT: WashACT is a multi-disciplinary taskforce convened in 2006 by the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington. The committee's mission is to insure that victims of trafficking receive all resources available to them and that human traffickers are identified, investigated and prosecuted to the utmost extent of the law. WashACT is co-chaired by the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington (in Seattle), the Seattle Police Department, and WARN. WashACT members meet monthly to share information on human trafficking trends and resources to victims and survivors of human trafficking, to identify and remedy gaps in services to survivors, and to coordinate investigations and prosecution of human trafficking cases. WashACT is now hosting quarterly information sessions to inform the community on anti-trafficking efforts in Western Washington and about how service providers, law enforcement, practitioners and mobilization groups collaborate to improve the response to human trafficking. WashACT information sessions are free and open to the public. The Prosecutor's Office, Sheriff's Office, and Department of Community and Human Services have respective representatives who attend and participate in WashACT meetings. 10 Washington State Task Force Against the Trafficking of Persons Report, pg. 7. Page 9 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094307 King County Superior Court Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) Task Force: The task force consists of representatives from local and federal law enforcement, schools, survivors, child welfare, youth and family service providers, Department of Public Defense, King County Superior Court and Juvenile Probation Services, the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, the State Attorney General's Office, Public Health-Seattle & King County, the Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention, Harborview Center for Sexual Assault & Traumatic Stress as well as business and advocacy organizations such as the Federal Way Coalition Against Trafficking, Seattle Against Slavery, and Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking. It is the mission of the King County CSEC Task Force is to ensure the safety and support of commercially sexually exploited children and to prevent further exploitation. Partner agencies collaborating within the Task Force coordinate the following services and resources throughout King County: • Community advocate services for children and young adults • A 24/7 hotline • Free training for a wide array of individuals who are likely to come into contact with commercially sexually exploited individuals. Community advocates are case managers that specialize in working with youth and young adults who have been sexually exploited, or are at risk of sexual exploitation. Community advocates can work with youth ages 12-24 in King County and are able to work with them for a long period of time, providing the opportunity to build relationships and work with the same youth as they move through systems (foster care, detention, etc.). Additionally, outreach and working with family members and other support systems is a key component of the community advocate program. This program is operated through the Bridge Collaborative, a regional response to sexually exploited youth and young adults operated through a partnership with YouthCare, Friends of Youth, the Organization of Prostitution Survivors, and Auburn Youth Resources. To date, over 80 children who are either at risk of being exploited or who are actively being exploited have been referred to an advocate. Referrals have come from schools (including truancy and social workers), court staff (prosecution, defense, probation, detention screening, and judges), law enforcement (local and federal), and service providers (state and local child welfare entities). In collaboration with YouthCare, the Bridge Collaborative operates a 24/7 hotline (1.855.400.CSEC (2732)) in King County where callers can speak to a community advocate. They can also reach out via email at CommunityAdvocate@YouthCare.org. Page 10 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094308 Over 400 individuals have been trained in CSEC identification since April 2013. Training is ongoing and is provided at no cost to the individual or agency seeking training through 2019 courtesy of Federal grant funds. Non-Profit Response to Human Trafficking Perhaps the most significant efforts to serve victims and survivors of human trafficking, educate the public, and assist with anti-human trafficking policy development have occurred in the non-profit communities. While government services are siloed into areas like criminal justice, or human services like housing, public health, mental health, employment, and domestic violence/sexual assault survivor programs, the nonprofit sector has worked collaboratively across all service domains to address the complex and varied needs of human trafficking victims. King County and Washington State are home to many vital nonprofits focused on the issue of human trafficking, some of which are described below. The Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network (WARN): WARN is a coalition of the organizations working together to serve victims and survivors of human trafficking and increase victim identification that includes: • International Rescue Committee in Seattle • API Chaya • YouthCare • Northwest Justice Project Farmworker Outreach Unit. WARN serves all victims and survivors of human trafficking regardless of age, country of origin, legal status in the United States, or industry in which the trafficking occurred. It provides linguistically- and culturally-appropriate services, with a trauma-informed approach to serving clients. The organization provides survivors with access to: • Intensive case management • Safe housing, food, and clothing • Immigration and legal assistance • Interpretation services • Criminal justice system/victim rights advocacy • Physical and mental health treatment • Education and job readiness training. Page 11of26 KC-DemandAbolition-094309 WARN offers a multi-disciplinary approach to its anti-human trafficking work, collaborating with service providers, law enforcement, and mobilization groups to increase victim identification and access to services, build community capacity to serve victims, and improve the response to human trafficking in Washington State. WARN is a co-chair of the Washington Advisory Committee on Trafficking (WashACT), a multidisciplinary task force also led by the Seattle Police Department and the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington. In addition, WARN conducts training for service providers, law enforcement, stakeholders, and community groups across Washington State. It also provides free and confidential technical assistance to service providers and community members who have encountered or are working with a potential victim of human trafficking. The Bridge Continuum/Bridge Collaborative: Named after child welfare advocates Jon Bridge and Justice Bobbe Bridge (retired), the Bridge Continuum provides specialized services to youth and young adults who have experienced (or are at risk of experiencing) sexual exploitation. These specialized services include case management, emergency shelter, long-term housing, education, employment training, and access to mental health and chemical dependency counseling. The Bridge Continuum also provides training to community members and consults with regional and advisory committees on this issue. Specialized advocacy services are offered by the Bridge Continuum through the Bridge Collaborative which YouthCare operates in partnership with Auburn Youth Resources and Friends of Youth. Therapeutic services such as mental health counseling, chemical dependency treatment, and survivor-led support groups are provided through partnerships with Ryther Child Center, Harborview Center for Sexual Assault & Traumatic Stress, and the Organization for Prostitution Survivors. Other important nonprofit organizations involved with human trafficking focus on policy development, business practices, and rescue and recovery. Seattle Against Slavery is a grass roots coalition working on human trafficking by fostering collaboration through education, advocacy and mobilization. Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST), asks business leaders to use the power of business to prevent human trafficking and has developed a set of tools for businesses to use to prevent and report trafficking within their operations. The Organization for Prostitution Survivors (OPS) offers survivor services, men's accountability, and community outreach activities throughout King County. Each of these, and other organizations, are part of a growing continuum of entities working on issues related to human trafficking in the region. Page 12 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-09431 O Executive Response to Motion 14083: King County's Human Trafficking Public Awareness Campaign Motion 14083 Motion 14083, unanimously passed by the King County Council on February 24, 2014, requested the Executive develop and implement a public outreach and information postings program to increase public awareness of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children. The campaign should use placement of human trafficking public awareness materials in, but not limited to, King County facilities such as the jail, public health clinics, transit centers, courthouses, hospitals, shelters and other locations where trafficked individuals and the public may see the information. The motion also requested that the Executive develop the materials and determine placement of the materials in collaboration with the Prosecutor's Office, the Sheriff's Office, the Departments of Public Health-Seattle & King County and Community and Human Services, Metro Transit Division, Superior Court, Council staff, and WARN. See Appendix D for the complete text of the motion. The Role of Human Trafficking Outreach Campaigns and Materials The 2014 Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States 2013-2017 notes that: Public outreach to expand general awareness, and targeted training and technical assistance for allied professionals likely to encounter victims of human trafficking, is a crucial aspect of victim identification and coordinated service delivery. Improved understanding of human trafficking will allow individuals to identify victims and to provide them with referrals for the comprehensive array of services available to trafficking victims 11 . The National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) is a national anti-trafficking hotline and resource center serving victims and survivors of human trafficking and the anti-trafficking community in the United States. The toll-free hotline is available to answer calls from anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year in more than 200 languages. Its mission is to provide human trafficking victims and survivors with access to critical support and services to get help and stay safe, and to equip the anti-trafficking community with the tools to effectively combat all forms of 11 Coordination, Collaboration, Capacity: Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States 2013-2017. 2014. Page 13 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094311 human trafficking. They also provide anti-trafficking trainings, technical assistance, and capacity building support. The NHTRC offers an online training on conducting public outreach campaigns. It states similar findings as the Federal Strategic Action Plan, notably that public outreach campaigns affect community understanding and behavior and reach at-risk audiences 12. The training identifies key components of a successful public outreach campaign, including: • Identifying the target audience • Citing a clear goal (i.e., "call this number") • Being fact based • Being victim-centered with an empowering messaging • Including appropriate language and translations • Tracking data/outcomes. This guidance on trafficking outreach campaigns informed the approach of the work team on Motion 14083. Executive Approach Motion Team: As directed by the motion, a team comprised of representatives from the Prosecutor's Office and Sheriff's Office, Council, the departments of Public HealthSeattle & King County and Community and Human Services, Metro Transit Division, Superior Court, and WARN worked together on the development and potential placement of the materials. Seattle Against Slavery consulted with staff on these decisions. The team utilized a streamlined approach to the work given existing knowledge and experience of team members, previous work products, research, and relationships with community providers and internally to King County. Consequently, the team was able to efficiently complete its work in a few weeks with limited time spent in meetings. Materials: The poster that was selected by the work team for the posting was produced by Seattle Against Slavery and WARN and made available to King County through WARN. The poster messaging is in seven languages, including English. A version of the same poster is used in state-operated rest area restrooms. As required in the 12 "Human Trafficking Public Outreach Campaigns." National Human Trafficking Resource Center. 22 Dec. 2014. Web. 1O Feb. 2015. Page 14 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094312 legislation, the phone number on the poster is the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline. The group's consensus was that to the extent possible, the county should maximize and leverage use of existing materials. See appendix A. Posting Locations: Working with the motion team, staff reached out to a broad array of health and human services providers and criminal justice partners via email, phone, and in person with the invitation to participate in the posting campaign. The provider and partner response was tremendous. Collectively, the staff work team and providers identified nearly 100 community agencies and partner organizations to invite to post the materials. The robust inventory of agencies and organizations span all geographic areas of King County, and service a diverse population, including youth and those who are, or are at risk of, being trafficked. As of the writing of this report, over 40 agencies, many with multiple locations, volunteered to participate in the campaign and post signs in locations across King County. Of particular note are community agencies and locations where individuals who may be trafficked could potentially see the information, including: King County's public health clinics, community health clinics, school based health clinics, behavioral health providers, and shelters. In addition to external entities, King County jail facilities, the King County Prosecutor's Office, courts, and Sheriff's Office precincts have agreed to post the materials. Seattle Against Slavery volunteered to deliver posters to the entities and locations identified. See Appendix B for a list of agencies and entities participating in the posting campaign as of February 13, 2015. The motion calls for an outline of the memoranda of agreement or other documentation necessary to enable the postings to occur. Discussions with providers and partners indicated that a formal memoranda of agreement was not necessary for this campaign. It was determined that written confirmation in participation of the project via email was acceptable. Ongoing Process and Planning: The work initiated with this motion is ongoing, with staff continuing to receive suggestions and requests, along with conducting outreach to potential campaign partners. With regard to the motion's requirements of identifying an ongoing process to invite future partner entities to display the human trafficking public information materials and establishing a plan for ensuring that the posting of human trafficking public information materials occurs on an ongoing basis, the staff work team recommends that these tasks be assigned to an employee of the Executive branch whose body of work explicitly includes human trafficking activities. For 2015, a staff person within the Department of Community and Human Services has been identified who will continue to track and monitor the human trafficking posting program, including Page 15 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094313 working with contract monitors, providers, and others to identify new organizations or entities that may be contacted to participate in the program. This staffer performs other human trafficking monitoring and analysis-related activities. Looking forward to 2016 and beyond, there is a need for departments to review staffing plans and workloads to identify staff that may potentially be detailed to human trafficking planning and analysis, rather than assigned on an ad hoc basis. Given declining revenues and workload impacts, the question of allocating staff to human trafficking work on an ongoing basis must be examined within the context of emerging priorities and budgetary decision making through the departmental budget processes. Conclusion and Findings The work group concludes that the directives and intent of Motion 14083 were met. Further, as a result of the work group's discussions and analyses, additional findings and their basis are included below. As global and local attention focuses on the issue of human trafficking, policymakers, the public, and community partners will increasingly seek King County's participation and leadership on the topic. In order to better positon the county to respond to and collaborate as well as convene and lead, when appropriate, on human trafficking matters the following three recommendations are noted for the consideration of policymakers moving forward: 1. Intentional Planning and Coordination: The issue of human trafficking and the county's response to it would benefit from intentional planning, collaboration, and potential coordination of the county's various human trafficking activities across King County government, particularly given the county's commitment to equity and social justice. Currently, departments and separately elected official agencies are independently participating in a number of endeavors related to human trafficking. A shared approach to the work on human trafficking could result in less duplication of effort, greater information sharing, and leveraging of effort. 2. Strategic Action Plan: The County may wish to consider working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to create a comprehensive strategic action plan for human trafficking similar to the Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States 13 . King County's plan could articulate the county's path for strengthening coordination, collaboration, and capacity, while building on existing work and core competencies. 13 Coordination, Collaboration, Capacity: Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States 2013-2017. 2014.

WHEREAS, human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which people profit from the control and exploitation of others, and WHEREAS, as defined under federal law, victims of human trafficking include children involved in commercial sex trade, adults age eighteen or over who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts and anyone forced into different forms of "labor or services," such as domestic workers held in a home or farm workers forced to labor against their will, and WHEREAS, human trafficking is considered to be one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world, and WHEREAS, human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children are serious crime problems worldwide, in Washington state and in King County, and WHEREAS, between three hundred and five hundred children will be bought and sold in King County this year, and WHEREAS, the average age of entry into commercial sexual exploitation in the United States is thirteen years old, and WHEREAS, children as young as eleven years old who have been commercially sexually exploited have been found in King County, and WHEREAS, over ninety-five percent of labor and sex trafficking victims experience physical and sexual violence, and WHEREAS, human traffickers lure and ensnare individuals into labor trafficking and sex trafficking situations using methods of control such as force, fraud or coercion, and WHEREAS, the state of Washington has been described as a focal point for the recruitment, transportation and sale of people for labor, due in part to its abundance of ports, proximity to an international border, vast rural areas and dependency on agricultural workers, and WHEREAS, Washington was the first state to criminalize human trafficking, in 2003, and WHEREAS, the 2008 Report of the Washington Task Force against the Trafficking of Human Persons recommended among its urgent priorities the need to: educate Washington communities about human trafficking; provide support to implement community-driven antitrafficking strategies, including primary prevention efforts; and help victims escape their situations by making one-on-one contact with people who may be in trafficking situations, and WHEREAS, public information about human trafficking can educate the public about human trafficking and inform victims about resources available to them, simultaneously addressing the needs of individual victims and the educational priorities of the Washington state Task Force on Trafficking, and WHEREAS, human trafficking is a clandestine crime that thrives on secrecy and on the social and physical isolation of its victims, making identification of victims, traffickers and their networks extremely challenging, and Page 21of26 KC-DemandAbolition-094319 Appendix D Continued: Motion 14083 WHEREAS, one significant tool for bringing human trafficking into the open is utilizing the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline that connects callers to resources, including: law enforcement, services and information about the crime of human trafficking, and WHEREAS, while human trafficking locations and venues might differ from state to state, there are common venues where trafficking readily occurs, and WHEREAS, based on these patterns, it is recommended that information and hotline phone numbers should be posted in or at: truck stops, bus stations, train stations, airports, rest stops, hotels, motels, clubs, bars, farms, hospitals, clinics, jails, police stations and shelters in an effort to target locations where trafficking victims may see the information, and WHEREAS, for victims of human trafficking, the public posting of information and hotline phone numbers in locations where the information may be seen is critical, as they might not have access to the Internet or to other forms of community based outreach and awareness programs, and WHEREAS, for community members, information and calls to the hotline often generate future tips and a better understanding of the red-flag indicators of human trafficking, and WHEREAS, posting information on human trafficking and hotline phone numbers in high visibility locations, increases awareness and increases the chances that human trafficking will be reported, victims will identified and access services and traffickers will be prosecuted; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED by the Council of King County: A. The executive is requested to develop and implement a public outreach and information postings program to increase public awareness of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children using placement of human trafficking public awareness materials in, but not limited to, county facilities such as the jail, public health clinics, transit centers, courthouses, hospitals, shelters and other locations where trafficked individuals and the public may see the information. B. The executive is requested to develop the materials and determine placement of the materials in collaboration with public health-Seattle and King County, the transit division, the department of community and human services, the prosecutor's office, the sheriff's offfice, superior court, Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network and council staff. C. The executive is requested toexplore partnership opportunities with entities external to King County government for posting of human trafficking public awareness materials in their facilities and locations, including, but not limited to, hospitals, community health clinics, shelters, community service organizations and other organizations with locations where trafficked individuals and the public may see the information.

TEL: Page 25 of 26 KC-DemandAbolition-094323 Appendix F: Buyer Beware Information Sheet King County is piloting a new demand reduction model to reduce commercial sexual exploitation. Past attempts to address commercial sex have focused on arresting prostituted people. However, prostituted people are typically coerced into "the life" between the ages of 12-15, controlled by pimps or unable to escape for other reasons. Therefore, this model will focus on the participants in these crimes who do have free choice: the buyers who drive demand. King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office (KCPAO) Organization for Prostitution Survivors (OPS) will focus on will focus on reducing demand for commercial sex by targeting buyers directly. The strategy will coordinate law enforcement emphasis on buyers and initiate a public deterrence campaign targeted at buyers using the internet. ,._ Expand training of police agencies to conduct sting operations on sex buyers; Increase number of jurisdictions conducting Internet stings; Increase number of arrests and prosecutions of buyers; Increase publicity of arrests, prosecutions, and penalties; Ensure imposition of fines to support victim services; Coordinate a public awareness and deterrence campaign targeted directly at buyers on the Internet. intervention with sex buyers postconviction as a condition of sentence. This strategy will support development of an advanced curriculum for use throughout King County. This strategy will also focus on public awareness through Bystander Education efforts. ,._ Develop a comprehensive Sex Buyer Intervention Program; Expand use of buyer intervention curriculum across King County; ,._ Focus on lasting change in cultural norms by increasing bystander engagement; Partner with local coalitions to integrate Male Accountability messaging and train men as "allies." The goal of the pilot project is to reduce the demand for commercial sex by 20% in two years. The project will measure the volume of demand at the street level and online. A significant reduction in demand will decrease harm to prostituted persons, reduce selfdestructive behaviors of buyers, and curb sex trafficking in our community.

Val, great meeting you at the conference and look forward to collaborating and potentially addressing the 'supply' side of the trafficking issue with the Asian foreign nationals. In Houston, we're about to advance on an organized crime investigation of a small network of Asian massage parlors that we were able to connect through utility records, property owners etc. The locations will be closed administratively by the city based on a new nuisance ordinance. The ring leaders and their colleagues will be charged locally for organized crime. I think with a little nationwide coordination we could charge similar groups in the future with the Mann Act. I pulled domestic flight records and can see the woman KC-DemandAbolition-094341 traveling back and forth across the country. One of IA's has been pulling the records from all the 'employees' we've encountered through operations with the local vice units. The trend we're noticing is the women arrive to the US on tourist visas and within a few weeks apply for asylum using the one child argument in California and New York. Many of the woman have admitted to committing visa fraud on their asylum apps. We've yet to encounter an 'employee' who will self-identify as a trafficked person. But we've come across evidence and they'll provide statements that refer to various forms of force, fraud and coercion. Definitely need to find a new way to tackle this .... Let me know if/when y'all are available to chat, would love to strategize, Thanks, Kate Langston Special Agent Cyber-Tech Program Manager I Houston Field Office International Human Trafficking Task Force Department of State I Diplomatic Security Service Office: 713.654.0423 I Cell: 713.294-5481 This email is UNCLASSIFIED.

This consultant has offered to create a JB plan for us. I know this might sound wonky, it's not. It's a really effective mechanism for clarifying goals, identifying capability gaps, key partners and measurable outcomes. We'd like to meet with this consultant sometime before July. It would be a one day (and one non-mandatory overnight) at a ranch in Breckenridge, CO. We recognize that your time is precious, and it might not be possible for you to attend this gathering in Colorado. Please let me know if one of the following dates may work for you. May 4-7 May 9-14 May 16-21 May 23-28 Jun 6-11 Jun 20-25 Jun 30-Jul 2 As far as rules of engagement go, there are a couple things we'd propose: 1. All JB communications are considered confidential and should only be discussed with other members of the JB team (right now, that's limited to those on the To line). 2. Decisions to invite other people into the JB team should be agreed upon by the existing team. Our intent is to expand the circle, but we'd like to develop a clear strategy first so we can be intentional about who else we approach. 3. We will generally avoid written communication, especially as it pertains to substantive content. Phone calls and in person communication is preferable; hard copy vs. electronic, etc. If you have the ability to encrypt email with PGP (gpgtools.org for Mac users) that would be great. Please let me know what you think of the above, and that absolutely means I welcome criticism too. We want this to be a true partnership, so it's important to Ian and I that everyone's voice is heard. We'd love to create a community where each of us walks away feeling more connected to why we're doing this work, and more encouraged and supported in our ability to effect large-scale change. Please let me know what you think about Colorado by Tuesday, 22 March. It doesn't have to be anything definite, we just need to coordinate dates with the ranch in Breckinridge. KC-DemandAbol ition-0943 70 I need to close with this - there are few things in life that I love more than being around people who think big thoughts and then do something about them.

Take care, Kristi Hi everyone, It was great to meet all of you last week. Ian and I were both energized and encouraged by our conversation and we look forward to celebrating the demise of this industry with you. It is of utmost importance to us that JB is energizing and motivating for you. We want you to want to be part of this. The reason you were invited to be part of this effort is because you are like-minded, strategic thinkers who have successfully applied creative solutions to hard problems. That is our vision for this effort - that it results in systemic change while remaining devoid of bureaucratic BS. As outlined in the attached document, we think the first step in guiding this effort is to develop a very clear strategic plan.

We want to see these seats go to deserving folks in the Seattle community working on important issues. Do you have any staff, board members, or folks you work with that might be interested in joining us? If so, let me know and I can help them get registered. All the best, Catherine Catherine Baxter Program Associate I The Project KC-DemandAbolition-094380 March 20 Time: 10am-5pm Location: 1420 5th Ave. Registration Fee Our dynamic day-long core seminar is designed to test the limits and uses of knowledge, and what it takes to be influential on a large scale. Our approach is playful, dynamic and results-oriented-games, high stakes scenarios, and interactive thought experiments challenge you to think more expansively about what you know, why it matters, and how to use it. We explore the source of credibility; the patterns and elements of persuasion; the difference between being "right" and being effective; how to preach beyond the choir; and how to think bigger about what you know-to have more impact in the world. Participants emerge with concrete results (op-ed drafts and more), and follow-up access to our national network of high-level journalist mentors. $325 Ends 30 days prior $375 Ends 1O days prior Our focus is on underrepresented voices, especially women--but this seminar is open to everyone, men included. It is equally suitable for those with or without publishing or writing experience. $425 Regular Registration Or request a We run 'Write to Change the World' programs in 15 major US cities on a rotating basis. See upcoming cities and dates The voices and opinions we hear in the world come from an extremely narrow slice of society: mostly white, privileged, Western, and overwhelmingly male. What could we accomplish if we invested in our missing brain power? The OpEd Project is a social venture founded to drive more and better ideas into the world, from a wider range of voices. We are a community of journalists and thought leaders who actively share our skills, resources and connections across color, creed, class and gender lines. We train underrepresented experts to take thought leadership positions in their fields; we match them with high-level journalist mentors; and we channel the best new ideas and experts to media gatekeepers who need them, across all platforms. We have been featured in most major media. We envision a world where the best ideas, regardless of where they come from, will have a chance to be heard and to shape society and the world.

Val, great meeting you at the conference and look forward to collaborating and potentially addressing the 'supply' side of the trafficking issue with the Asian foreign nationals. In Houston, we're about to advance on an organized crime investigation of a small network of Asian massage parlors that we were able to connect through utility records, property owners etc. The locations will be closed administratively by the city based on a new nuisance ordinance. The ring leaders and their colleagues will be charged locally for organized crime. I think with a little nationwide coordination we could charge similar groups in the future with the Mann Act. I pulled domestic flight records and can see the woman traveling back and forth across the country. One ofIA's has been pulling the records from all the 'employees' we've encountered through operations with the local vice units. The trend we're noticing is the women arrive to the US on tourist visas and within a few weeks apply for asylum using the one child argument in California and New York. Many of the woman have admitted to committing visa fraud on their asylum apps. We've yet to encounter an 'employee' who will self-identify as a trafficked person. But we've come across evidence and they'll provide statements that refer to various forms of force, fraud and coercion. Definitely need to find a new way to tackle this ....

I believe you guys know each other. Anyway, we were chatting about possible opportunities for DSS to partner on large network cases we have been working that involve an influx of foreign nationals (particularly Asian women) being funneled through L.A. into prostitution all over the country. I'm wondering if you both would be willing to have an informal chat about opportunities for collaboration on these types of issues?

Thanks to Ane and Alisa and Debra for input. KC-DemandAbolition-094407 Doesn't increasing penalties for buyers make it more dangerous for women in prostitution? 1 No, prostitution is inherently dangerous. Violence is used as a means of control and coercion by pimps and traffickers, and sex buyers also use high rates of violence. The violence does not end when prostitution is legalized or penalties remain low. Various forms of torture are used against women and children as tools for control, including food and sleep deprivation, beatings, burns, branding, rape, threats and acts of violence, serial sexual assault, and murder. Women both in indoor and outdoor prostitution, even those with bodyguards, are murdered, assaulted, and raped by both long-term buyers and by buyers they have only known for a few minutes. The sex industry depends on coercion and violence to keep women and girls prostituting. Only by targeting demand does prostitution become safer. Doesn't targeting buyers make it harder for women and youth to contact social services and law enforcement? No. When women have the law on their side and can see law enforcement as a resource to ensure their safety, they are more empowered to call the police. In Sweden, where the focus is on demand, women are enabled to collaborate with police to prevent abuse and exploitation. Ninety percent of the women encountered by the Stockholm Prostitution Unit were willing to provide statements against buyers. Isn't selling sex a legitimate form of work-isn't it just a job? Imagine a job where you have no say over who you have sex with-where you are paid to set aside consent. A job where your employer and your customers can beat, rape and murder you during the performance of your job duties. One study2 showed: Prostituted women had a death rate 200 times that of women of similar age and race. Active prostitutes were almost 18 times more likely to be murdered than women of similar age and race. The workplace homicide rate for prostitutes was 204 per 100,000, compared to 4 per 100,000 for female liquor store workers and 29 per 100,000 for male taxicab drivers. This is not work. This is exploitation and abuse. But won't prostituted people lose their income if there are increased penalties for sex buying? Making it easier for men to buy sex is not the answer. Instead we need to create genuine opportunities so that women are empowered with real choices, while holding buyers accountable for the harm they cause. Don't some people prostitute voluntarily? The sex industry thrives on conditions of vulnerability. Most women and girls enter prostitution because of histories of sexual abuse, or homelessness, drug abuse, and poverty. Prostitution disproportionately harms vulnerable populations like children and minorities. Though a small minority may prostitute voluntarily, we must focus on those who don't have a choice. KC-DemandAbolition-094408 Shouldn't we legalize or decriminalize prostitution? Legalization and decriminalization are failed experiments. Legalization only legitimizes and sustains the system of violence. • • • • More men buy sex when prostitution is legalized or decriminalized. Trafficking increases in places where prostitution is legalized or decriminalized, because supply cannot meet demand. Violence against women in prostitution is just as rampant when it is legalized or decriminalized. Child sex trafficking increases when prostitution is legalized or decriminalized. German psychologist and trauma expert Dr. Ingeborg Kraus along with other psychologists are challenging Germany's legalization/normalization of prostitution, responding to the overwhelming rates of PTSD they are seeing in women in the sex industry. The "German Psychotraumatologists' Manifesto Against Prostitution" states: "When we analyze the problem of prostitution in Germany today, we find that the culture of denial is omnipresent and that lobbying has infiltrated everything as well: There is a denial of the violence committed against women before entering into prostitution. There is a denial of the physical and mental consequences caused by prostitution. There is a denial of the violence committed against women in situations of prostitution. There is a denial of the impact of prostitution on society, the relationship between men and women and the family." 3 1 The majority of the information herein was taken from an article pending publication by Ane Mathieson.

Ian and I were both energized and encouraged by our conversation and we look forward to celebrating the demise of this industry with you. It is of utmost importance to us that JB is energizing and motivating for you. We want you to want to be part of this. The reason you were invited to be part of this effort is because you are like-minded, strategic thinkers who have successfully applied creative solutions to hard problems. That is our vision for this effort - that it results in systemic change while remaining devoid of bureaucratic BS. As outlined in the attached document, we think the first step in guiding this effort is to develop a very clear strategic plan. Ian works with a Denver-based to guide the direction of his organization. This consultant has offered to create a JB plan for us. I know this might sound wonky, it's not. It's a really effective mechanism for clarifying goals, identifying capability gaps, key partners and measurable outcomes. We'd like to meet with this consultant sometime before July. It would be a one day (and one non-mandatory overnight) at a ranch in Breckenridge, CO. We recognize that your time is precious, and it might not be possible for you to attend this gathering in Colorado. Please let me know if one of the following dates may work for you. May 4-7 May 9-14 May 16-21 May 23-28 Jun 6-11 Jun 20-25 Jun 30-Jul 2 As far as rules of engagement go, there are a couple things we'd propose: 1. All JB communications are considered confidential and should only be discussed with other members of the JB team (right now, that's limited to those on the To line). 2. Decisions to invite other people into the JB team should be agreed upon by the existing team. Our intent is to expand the circle, but we'd like to develop a clear strategy first so we can be intentional about who else we approach. 3. We will generally avoid written communication, especially as it pertains to substantive content. Phone calls and in person communication is preferable; hard copy vs. electronic, etc. If you have the ability to encrypt email with PGP ,~=~~~ for Mac users) that would be great. KC-DemandAbolition-094412 Please let me know what you think of the above, and that absolutely means I welcome criticism too. We want this to be a true partnership, so it's important to Ian and I that everyone's voice is heard. We'd love to create a community where each of us walks away feeling more connected to why we're doing this work, and more encouraged and supported in our ability to effect large-scale change. Please let me know what you think about Colorado by Tuesday, 22 March. It doesn't have to be anything definite, we just need to coordinate dates with the ranch in Breckinridge. I need to close with this - there are few things in life that I love more than being around people who think big thoughts and then do something about them. As someone new to this field, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to meet all of you and get to work alongside of you.

Ian and I were both energized and encouraged by our conversation and we look forward to celebrating the demise of this industry with you. It is of utmost importance to us that JB is energizing and motivating for you. We want you to want to be part of this. The reason you were invited to be part of this effort is because you are like-minded, strategic thinkers who have successfully applied creative solutions to hard problems. That is our vision for this effort - that it results in systemic change while remaining devoid of bureaucratic BS. As outlined in the attached document, we think the first step in guiding this effort is to develop a very clear strategic plan. Ian works with a Denver-based to guide the direction of his organization. This consultant has offered to create a JB plan for us. I know this might sound wonky, it's not. It's a really effective mechanism for clarifying goals, identifying capability gaps, key partners and measurable outcomes. We'd like to meet with this consultant sometime before July. It would be a one day (and one nonmandatory overnight) at a ranch in Breckenridge, CO. We recognize that your time is precious, and it might not be possible for you to attend this gathering in Colorado. Please let me know if one of the following dates may work for you. May 4-7 May 9-14 May 16-21 May 23-28 Jun 6-11 Jun 20-25 Jun 30-Jul 2 As far as rules of engagement go, there are a couple things we'd propose: 1. All JB communications are considered confidential and should only be discussed with other members of the JB team (right now, that's limited to those on the To line). 2. Decisions to invite other people into the JB team should be agreed upon by the existing team. Our intent is to expand the circle, but we'd like to develop a clear strategy first so we can be intentional about who else we approach. 3. We will generally avoid written communication, especially as it pertains to substantive content. Phone calls and in person communication is preferable; hard copy vs. electronic, etc. If you have the ability to encrypt email with PGP for Mac users) that would be great. Please let me know what you think of the above, and that absolutely means I welcome criticism too. We want this to be a true partnership, so it's important to Ian and I that everyone's voice is heard. We'd love to create a community where each of us walks away feeling more connected to why we're doing this work, and more encouraged and supported in our ability to effect large-scale change. Please let me know what you think about Colorado by Tuesday, 22 March. It doesn't have to be anything definite, we just need to coordinate dates with the ranch in Breckinridge. I need to close with this - there are few things in life that I love more than being around people who think big thoughts and then do something about them. As someone new to this field, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to meet all of you and get to work alongside of you.

KC-DemandAbolition-094440 ii ii I I Teens growing up in neighborhoods marked by chronic poverty and disadvantage are at risk for a range of poor outcomes. Thanks to high-profile national initiatives like the White House's My Brother's Keeper and now the My Brother's Keeper Alliance, the specific issues confronting boys growing up in such distressed places are receiving long-overdue attention. But girls who live in these same communities are faced with similar challenges, and additionally experience gender-specific risks like sexual harassment, exploitation, pressure, and sexual violence. Our goal is to raise attention to a phenomenon we call coercive sexual environments (CS Es), which too often affect adolescent girls of color living in urban neighborhoods of concentrated poverty and disadvantage. Before we begin, however, it is important to acknowledge the sensitivity of this topic and the danger of further stigmatizing an already-stigmatized population-low-income people of color, both males and females. In her essay, "Understanding the Environmental Contexts of Boys and Young Men of Color," our colleague Lynette Rawlings (2015) notes, Far too often, when the research and policy communities take on the topic of boys and young men of color, it is to describe in depressing detail how these young males contribute to their own poor outcomes. Complex realities, institutional challenges, and underlying circumstances are reduced to individualized behaviors. In addition, research and policy often fail to explore the many cases where boys and young men are thriving despite challenging circumstances or to examine the roots of these successes. We face this challenge in addressing one aspect of the experience of girls of color from communities of concentrated disadvantage. How do we discuss a serious issue and its potential solutions without contributing to the very problems that have allowed the CSE phenomenon to flourish in the first place? KC-DemandAbolition-094441 As Rawlings suggests, our answer is to look at the larger ecological contexts that affect the girls we are writing about: not just the neighborhoods in which they live, but also at the systems and institutions that have shaped those neighborhoods and the larger cultural influences that affect all girls and women. In fact, when viewed through an ecological lens, we recognize CS Es are probably not unique to neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage in the United States, but that the phenomenon may also spring up in other communities and affect non-Hispanic white girls. In addition, CS Es are likely found in other settings around the globe, such as war-torn regions, where misogynistic norms from the surrounding culture, violence, and social disorganization run rampant (Adams 2013). However, the focus of our effort here is on communities of color living in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage, which may present unique challenges. We further acknowledge that any victim of sexual violence can experience trauma, whether or not they live in a CSE, and that boys are often victims of sexual violence and harassment as well as girls. Further, boys living in neighborhoods affected by the CSE phenomenon are also at a disadvantage because they are socialized and pushed to at least accept the CSE as passive bystanders or perhaps participate in a CSE as aggressors. We also acknowledge that LGBTQ populations can face similar traumas (Dank et al. 2015). However, as Rawlings (2015) points out, the experiences of girls within various contexts "can vary in profound and unexpected ways." The purpose of this paper is to explore one of those ways, namely, by examining CSE as a gender-specific phenomenon that has unique consequences for low-income girls of color in communities of concentrated disadvantage in the United States so solutions tailored to address the phenomenon and the populations most affected by it can be pursued. This paper is divided into three parts. First, we briefly review our previous research, which explored the experiences of girls and women in low-income racially segregated urban communities and grounded our theories about the gender-specific mechanism of CS Es. Second, we explore the development and context of the CSE phenomenon from the vantage point of the three ecological domains within which it nests: culture and society, systems and institutions, and, finally, neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage where the phenomenon produces low to high levels of trauma for the girls who live there, leading to negative consequences for their physical and mental health, educational advancement, and long-term economic stability. Third, we outline next steps for research, briefly review promising and emerging solutions, and raise a call to action for addressing CS Es, not only through policies and campaigns capable of responding to the phenomenon, but by working with the many girls, boys, parents, and other community members from communities of concentrated disadvantage who will gladly stand up to CS Es if given the tools and resources to do so. LE.T C'.ilRL:S BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094442 The Coercive Sexual Environment Phenomenon In recent research, we have demonstrated that when disadvantage and violence are great and collective efficacy and social control are low, a gender-specific neighborhood mechanism can emerge that has different effects on male and female youth. To be specific, some communities develop a pervasive CSE in which harassment, domestic violence, and sexual exploitation of women and even very young girls become part of everyday life (Popkin, Acs, and Smith 2010; Popkin, Leventhal, and Weismann 2010; Popkin and McDaniel 2013; Popkin et al., forthcoming). Our interest in this research began when we first observed strikingly different outcomes for innercity male and female youth who participated in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Moving to Opportunity (MTO) demonstration. MTO was a voluntary relocation program targeted at very low-income residents of distressed public housing in high-poverty neighborhoods in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City. Interim data revealed the girls from families who had received special assistance and incentives to move to a low-poverty neighborhood fared unexpectedly better than boys from these families in terms of mental health and engagement in risky behavior (Briggs, Popkin, and Goering 2010; Popkin, Leventhal et al. 2010). The MTO final evaluation survey also found significant differences in mental and physical health and well-being between the adult women and girls who moved to lower-poverty neighborhoods and those who remained in public housing (Ludwig et al. 2011). This research also showed that the girls who moved were significantly less likely than those who did not move to report frequent unwanted sexual attention (Sanbonmatsu et al. 2011). We conducted additional analysis to create a measure of CSE and found a link between this index and poor mental health. In addition to this quantitative work, we have conducted extensive qualitative research, interviewing hundreds of MTO movers. This work has allowed us to describe what a CSE looks and feels like to those experiencing it; in other words, what it is like to live with chronic violence and predatory threats and how the violence and threats constrain community life. Women and girls in these communities describe daily life with catcalls, grabbing, sexually suggestive language, and violence toward women and even very young girls (Smith et al. 2014). Since these initial findings from our exploratory work with the MTO survey data, we have developed and validated a more robust measure of CSE for both adults and youth (Popkin et al., forthcoming) and refined our conceptual model (figure 1). Though elements of a CSE may emerge across a variety of contexts (e.g., college campuses, workplaces), our model posits that CSE, as an identifiable phenomenon, results from broader cultural norms around gender-based abuse and harassment combined with high levels of chronic violence and poverty and low levels of collective efficacy present LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094443 in highly distressed communities. In these circumstances, sexual harassment, coercion, and genderbased violence become normalized, undermining the life chances of young women and girls. CSE Conceptual Model Neighborhood concentrated disadvantage: Poverty, concentration of people of color, dearth of quality social services and economic opportunities Communitylevel violence, social disorder, low collective efficacy, resident perceived powerlessness Culture of genderbased abuse: pervasive speech that demeans and sexually threatens women/girls; male status tied to sexual predation, victim blaming; no sanctions in cases of sexual assault " " CSE High neighborhoodlevel "acceptance" of sexual harassment, molestation, exploitation and violence against women and girls .Ji ilk. .,,,,1111~ , High rates ofsexual harassment, violence, and exploitation of women and girls; chronic female fear; poor social and health outcomes for female I. ... I. In the next section of this paper, we unpack this model and show how a CSE does not originate with the people who live in communities of concentrated disadvantage, but rather bubbles up to afflict them after having been brewed within larger cultural, institutional, and neighborhood domains. We also look at the relevant consequences each domain produces for individual women and girls and at how these consequences affect life outcomes. We titled this paper Let Girls Be Girls because we believe CS Es-the ultimate expression of these consequences at the neighborhood level-often causes trauma for disadvantaged girls. This trauma then interferes with the natural course of development upon which a young woman's successful transition to adulthood depends, including economic and social success, as well as her health and well-being. LE.T C'.ilRL:S BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094444 Putting CS Es in Context A CSE, as we have conceived it, is a placed-based phenomenon that emerges in chronically violent and disadvantaged communities. But, as our model indicates, a CSE does not occur in isolation; rather, it grows out of the broader context of historic and ongoing racial segregation, as well as cultural and societal norms, that encourage gender-based sexual harassment, threats, and violence. A CSE begins with these societal norms, which shape how girls and women are perceived and treated wherever they live. But as figure 2 illustrates, institutions and systems often encourage the social and economic isolation of people of color and frame the opportunities for low-income children of color in very specific ways. These forces play out in racially segregated neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage, where poverty, violence, and social disorganization take root, allowing CS Es to emerge as a place-based and gender-specific phenomenon that affects the daily interactions, well-being, and economic opportunity of the girls and women who live there.

LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094445 The Domain of Society and Culture For most women and girls, experiences of sexism and sexual harassment are an everyday occurrence. In the United States, one in two women has experienced some form of sexual harassment in her lifetime (Pina, Gannon, and Saunders 2009). For example, the American Association of University Women reports that 56 percent of girls in middle and high school report sexual harassment (Hill and Kearl 2011). But although sexual harassment is widespread, some women and girls are more directly affected depending on the settings (e.g., college campuses, military bases, workplaces, or neighborhoods) in which they find themselves. Although women in most communities are more likely to face sexual harassment than their male counterparts (Gruber and Fineran 2007; Street et al. 2007), some evidence suggests women who grow up in chronically disadvantaged communities are more vulnerable to sexual harassment, exploitation, and victimization and to experiencing related trauma and other long-term consequences (Cobbina, Miller, and Brunson 2008; Menard and Huzinga 2001; Popkin, Leventhal, et al. 2010; Smith et al. 2014). Among African American sexual assault survivors, poverty has been linked to depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and illicit drug use. Thus, poverty plays a role in how these survivors are able (or unable) to heal from their experiences, complicating access to services and resources that could help them, and emphasizing the nexus of being female, African American, and impoverished (Bryant-Davis et al. 2010). The Domain of Systems and Institutions The legacy of segregation and discrimination in federal, state, and local policies and practices means too many low-income African Americans live in neighborhoods that lack quality housing, schools, and basic services, including police (Rothstein 2015; Turner, Popkin, and Rawlings 2009). Although African Americans and other minorities are less starkly segregated today than in the past, virtually all concentrated poverty neighborhoods in the United States are majority minority. Institutional and systemic forces have affected low-income girls of color in very particular ways that often contribute to the neighborhood settings where a CSE emerges and thrives. For example, Crenshaw, Ocen, and Nanda (2015) describe punitive school disciplinary policies (such as in-school and out-of-school suspension) that are used disproportionately on black girls that, in turn, lead to underachievement. The odds of suspension are three times greater for females with the darkest skin tone than those with the lightest (Hannon, DeFina, and Bruch 2013). Girls also often feel less safe in high-security school environments, as they typically are in high-poverty neighborhoods. In addition, LE.T C'.ilRL:S BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094446 punitive responses, as well as failure to intervene in situations involving sexual harassment and bullying, often separate black girls from school and lead to increased involvement in the criminal justice system. The justice system also fails to treat low-income girls and women of color equally, particularly when it comes to sex crimes, exacerbating the isolation of girls from neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage. This trend begins early with young girls who come from low-income neighborhoods and have experienced physical and sexual abuse. Though much attention is paid to boys and men of color in the criminal justice system, rates of all girls' involvement in the justice system are quietly on the upswing, with girls of color disproportionately affected. African American girls are entering the juvenile justice system at a rate of 123 per 100,000. In contrast, non-Hispanic white girls are confined at a rate of 37 per 100,000 (Saar et al. 2015). There is no definitive understanding behind the increased rates of girls' arrest and incarceration, but they are not due to increased criminal activity (Zahn et al. 2010). Disturbingly, system-level disparities toward low-income girls of color and the place-based phenomenon of CSE may combine to create a self-perpetuating loop. There is a link between girls' experiences with sexual and physical abuse and their involvement in the criminal justice system, especially girls of color. This link creates a victimization-to-imprisonment pipeline, with many girls imprisoned who are victims of sex trafficking, who have run away or are truant, or who have connections to the child welfare system (Saar et al. 2015). The Domain of Neighborhood The patterns of systemic injustice described above have created and sustained neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage-places with high poverty, high crime, and chronic distress that blight the life chances of the families who live there (Sampson 2012). Distressed, central-city public housing communities like those in which MTO families lived are some of the most racially and economically segregated communities in the nation, where the worst aspects of concentrated disadvantage a re plainly evident-physical decay, violent crime, drug trafficking, drug and alcohol addiction among adults, high rates of incarceration, and the absence of even the most basic amenities, such as grocery stores and laundromats. Other evidence suggests the risk of sexual violence is greater in disadvantaged communities, even among couples with higher incomes (Fox and Benson 2006). Many adults who live in these communities are disconnected from the labor market and suffer from high rates of physical and mental illness; many of the children and youth are in danger of injury, neglect, and educational failure (Popkin, Acs, and Smith 2010; Popkin et al. 2000). As a result, youth in these communities must often learn to master their environments-school, family, neighborhood-as a method of surviving the chaos LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-09444 7 around them (Rankin and Quane 2002). Sharkey's (2013) analysis highlights the costs for families and communities, showing that a subset of highly disadvantaged families have become "stuck in place" over time in these very disadvantaged places, making it increasingly difficult for each subsequent generation to improve their life circumstances. Recent research by Chetty and his colleagues (Chetty and Hendren 2015; Chetty, Hendren, and Katz 2015) shows that moving out of deeply poor and distressed neighborhoods leads to long-term benefits for children's economic success. The younger children are when their families move, the more they benefit over time. This research supports the argument that where people live matters (Chetty et al. 2015), and it particularly matters for children's outcomes. The Cost of CSE for Girls Our research suggests that living in a community with a high level of CSE contributes to poor outcomes for girls. As we have discussed above, there is ample evidence that living in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage-racially segregated, high-poverty, and high-crime communities with low levels of collective efficacy-harms children's life chances. Children growing up in these neighborhoods experience developmental delays, suffer serious physical and mental health problems, and are at greater risk for delinquency, early sexual initiation, and teen parenthood (Popkin, Leventhal, and Weismann 2010). In addition, ethnographic research supports the idea that girls and boys experience the effects of concentrated disadvantage in very different ways, especially as they enter adolescence. Girls in most communities experience at least some verbal and physical harassment from men, but in socially isolated, extremely high-poverty communities, the pressures for sexual activity are much greater, the threats more blatant, and the risk of victimization very real (Alvi et al. 2001; Popkin et al. 2000; Raphael 2001; Renzetti and Maier 2002). Just as "concentrated poverty is without any doubt a risk factor for the concentration of homicide" (Morenoff, Sampson, and Raudenbush 2001), neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage are a risk factor for pervasive sexual harassment and constant fear of sexual violence (Briggs, Popkin, and Goering 2010; Popkin, Leventhal, and Weisman 2010; Smith et al. 2014; Popkin et al., forthcoming). We believe CSE may affect the healthy sexual development of children who live in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage, particularly girls. Healthy sexual development is the combination of physical sexual maturation known as puberty, age-appropriate sexual behaviors, and the formation of a positive sexual identity and sense of sexual well-being (McNeely and Blanchard 2009). Healthy sexual LE.T C'.ilRL:S BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094448 development is bound to physical and mental health. It is the ability to understand and weigh the risks and responsibilities of sexual actions and the ability to integrate sexuality into life safely, derive pleasure from it, and maintain reproductive choice (Satcher 2001). Importantly, it also includes freedom from sexual abuse and discrimination. The specific consequences of CS Es related to the interruption of healthy sexual development include early sexualization, sexual harassment, trading sex for things youth need, and sexual assault. These consequences have real costs for girls-they are traumatic and have serious and life-long consequences for girls' physical and mental health and overall well-being. In her graphic portrayal of life for low-income, urban, African American girls, Miller (2008, 149) emphasizes how neighborhood environments can place girls at risk, writing that the "broader patterns of girls' neighborhood mistreatment, visible violence against women, crime and delinquent peer networks, and the prevalence of sexual harassment in schools all coalesced to create social contexts that heightened young women's risks for sexual victimization." As we also found in our research on MTO and a pilot study of Washington, DC, public housing residents, Miller notes teens often believe the girls are to blame because of the way they behave or dress, explaining that "gendered status hierarchies and the sexualization ofyoungwomen meant that a number of youths looked to young women's behavior or dress in explaining their neighborhood risks" (Miller 2008, 39). Yet low-income women often face widespread pressure for early sexual activity from male partners (Popkin, Leventhal, and Weisman 2010), and qualitative evidence suggests many girls who grow up in inner-city communities have early and continued experiences of being compelled to have sex (Dunlap, Golub, and Johnson 2004). About 30 percent of African American youths' increased likelihood of early sexual activity can be explained by demographic background, peer influences, family processes, and developmental risk factors. The remaining 70 percent of the racial difference in sexual activity timing can be accounted for by neighborhood-level concentrated poverty (Upchurch, Sucoff, and Levy-Storms 1999). Outcomes associated with early sexualization include improper contraceptive use, unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, mental health issues, nonsexual problem behaviors, and school dropout, all of which have long-term impacts on girls' lives (Alan Guttmacher Institute 1994; Albert, Brown, and Flanigan 2003; Browning, Leventhal, and Brooks-Gunn 2004; Cooksey, Rindfuss, and Guilkey 1996; Furstenberg, Brooks-Gunn, and Morgan 1987; Kendall-Tackett, Williams, and Finkelhor 1993). Inner-city girls' early and continued experiences of being compelled to have sex, along with structural disadvantage, often create an "independent sexuality" that may involve prostitution, LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094449 teen pregnancy, young motherhood, school dropout, lack of steady employment, and drug abuse (Dunlap et al. 2004). Some research suggests that in high-poverty communities, the nonphysical violence of sexual harassment is often tolerated because of the prevalence of violence in general (Dominguez and Menjivar 2014). Another qualitative study suggests high levels of sexual harassment might be associated with drug trafficking, specifically drug dealers hanging out in public spaces and the sexualization of women in the drug trade (Cobbina, Miller, and Brunson 2008). More generally, research shows women report greater fear of harassment in socially isolated, public housing communities with high levels of disorder (Alvi et al. 2001), as well as in public spaces that are poorly lit or marked by vandalism (Weatherburn, Matka, and Lind 1996). Sexual harassment puts young women at risk for a range of poor outcomes, including a higher likelihood for experiencing intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, substance abuse, and delinquency (Chiodo et al. 2009). In addition, sexual harassment has negative consequences for girls' school performance (Hand and Sanchez 2000). In communities of concentrated disadvantage a high level of CS Es may also contribute to youth being sexually exploited. We know economic insecurity is one reason women and youth provide when describing why they might trade sex for things they need (see, for example, Dank et al. 2014, 2015; Silverman et al. 2015). Although some research estimates the rate of adolescents having ever exchanged sex or drugs for money as fairly small (4 percent; Edwards, lritani, and Hallfors 2006), nearly one-third of a sample of African American youth living in urban public housing had traded sex for money, and maternal incarceration and parental substance abuse contributed to a higher likelihood of this type of risky behavior (Nebbitt et al. 2014). Adolescents with a history of participating in exchange sex also often engage in other high-risk behaviors and experience poor health outcomes, including depression, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections (Edwards et al. 2006). They may experience more running away and drug abuse (Nadon, Koverola, and Schludermann 1998). Other research suggests girls in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty and disadvantage may be at higher risk of sexual assault than other girls. Lower incomes and higher housing densities have been associated with higher rates of preteen and/or teen sexual assault (Mustaine et al. 2014). One qualitative study of at-risk African American youths living in St. Louis, MO, is suggestive that rates of sexual assault may be higher among this population. These researchers found that more than half of their small sample reported experiencing sexual assault or coercion (Cobbina et al. 2008). In contrast, LET C'.ilRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094450 11 percent of female high school students in the United States report having been raped (Child Trends Data Bank 2013). Although not an apples-to-apples comparison based on the measures used in these studies, the data suggest at-risk youth experience more sexual victimization than the general population. Sexually victimized youth struggle with posttraumatic stress, cognitive distortions, depression, and anxiety, and they are also more likely to engage in substance abuse, suicide, self-injury, binging and purging, and risky sexual behavior (Small and Zweig 2007). Our interviews with MTO girls suggest one of the worst consequences of living in a CSE may mean that girls who experience assault do not get the support and resources they need to recover. Instead, they may be blamed, labeled a "ho," or simply told that "it's just the way it is" (Smith et al. 2014). Next Steps for Research Our decades of research on the lives of women and girls in distressed neighborhoods leads us to conclude that in the most disadvantaged communities, concentrated poverty, chronic violence, and social disorder lead to both low collective efficacy and the emergence of a CSE. In these communities, girls are at risk for early sexualization, exchanging sex for things they need, and experiencing sexual harassment or sexual assault, all of which contribute to poor mental and physical health outcomes. Up to this point, this document has provided evidence that CSE exists, particularly in communities of concentrated disadvantage. We also show how a CSE can affect the lives of girls living in these communities, particular girls and young women of color. Yet there is much we still do not know about CSEs and its long-term effects. First, we need further work that explores and documents the nature of CS Es beyond our seminal work. More specifically, is a CSE a unitary phenomenon for which the characteristics of CS Es are common across neighborhoods and contexts, or does the phenomenological experience of CS Es differ across contexts? If it is a unitary phenomenon based on a single set of characteristics, do CS Es vary in severity across neighborhoods? Or, rather, do the characteristics of CS Es vary across neighborhoods and contexts, such that there are different types of CS Es? If so, do these different types of CSE range in severity in terms of how they affect the girls and women living in such environments? Second, the research we summarize here suggests that living in a CSE negatively affects individual well-being and leads to health- and life-compromising outcomes. Preliminary work shows CS Es are related to mental health (Smith et al. 2014; Popkin et al., forthcoming). Yet no study to date has actually LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbol ition-094451 documented the specific outcomes that can be attributed to living in a CSE over time, nor has any study tried to isolate the effects of CS Es from the contribution to negative outcomes of other aspects of living in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage, such as low collective efficacy. So, we ask, what are the negative consequences of living in a CSE, net of the effects of other neighborhood characteristics and the personal characteristics of the people living there? We believe a host of possible negative outcomes should be explored, including psychosocial outcomes (e.g., trauma, depression, anxiety, hostility), behavioral outcomes (e.g., early sexual initiation, substance use), and physical effects (e.g., health outcomes, pregnancy). Third, as we discuss above, we believe CS Es likely exist beyond disadvantaged urban communities. Other types of communities we believe are likely at risk are tribal communities (e.g., on Native American reservations) or places that have endured long-term conflict (e.g., Central America, parts of the Middle East). Further, it is likely that college campuses and military bases and units may show some aspects of a CSE, but these types of settings also offer high levels of social organization and collective efficacy that may function as protective mechanisms buffering the effects of the CSE. Fourth, more research is needed on factors that protect girls who experience CSE. For example, the domain of family appears to be protective for girls when it comes to early sexualization. Father presence is an important protective factor against early sexual outcomes, even if other risk factors are present (Ellis et al. 2003). Ramirez-Valles, Zimmerman, and Juarez (2002) find the timing of sexual initiation for young black women is best predicted by age, mother's education, time spent with mother, and involvement in church activities. Parental monitoring exerts significantly greater influence on girls' timing of sexual initiation than it does on boys. Neighborhood collective efficacy can contribute to delaying the onset of sexual activity for adolescents without high levels of parental monitoring (Browning et al. 2005). Roche and Leventhal (2009) found that as neighborhood disorder increased, youths with higher levels of routine in family life and parents with more knowledge about their lives were more strongly associated with a lower probability of early sexual onset. We believe family and civic organizing efforts may be protective across the range of CSE consequences. However, we need more research on this issue, particularly around other influences that may protect girls, such as connection to school or other meaningful relationships with caring and supportive adults. Addressing these gaps in knowledge about CS Es requires rigorous data collection efforts. To further understand the nature of CS Es across different neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage and across different settings, a study would require data collection from women and girls in multiple neighborhoods. To further understand the consequences of CS Es and possible protective factors, we need longitudinal data. Thus, a long-term, multisite data collection effort would help us more fully LET C'.ilRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094452 understand the risks of living within a CSE. This could be accomplished within a multi-community demonstration context, which combines programming efforts with research efforts. Including both communities with prevention and intervention programming along with comparison locations allows empirical research questions to be answered and evidence on the efficacy of programming to be built in tandem. Taking Action Although the field still has much to learn about the CSE mechanism and its impact on healthy youth development, some promising solutions are beginning to emerge. Because CS Es can be properly understood only in the context of the pervasive patterns of sexual and racial discrimination embedded in the larger culture and history of the United States, it is important to develop a "place-conscious" typology for these solutions lest we stigmatize the girls, boys, men, and women afflicted by a CSE by suggesting the solution to their plight resides only with them and their immediate families and neighbors. Place-conscious approaches recognize the importance of place and focus on the particular challenges of distressed neighborhoods, but they are less constrained by narrowly defined neighborhood boundaries, more responsive to the realities of family mobility and change, and more attuned to larger geographic and systems-level conditions and opportunities (Turner et al. 2014). Our place-conscious typology for emerging CSE solutions is as follows: • National campaigns aimed at policy and systems change that reduce the impact of sexual discrimination on all women and girls, particularly women and girls of color; • Neighborhood-based interventions that directly address the ways a CSE plays out among individuals and groups; and • Regional strategies that support families to move away from neighborhoods of concentrated d isa dva ntage. Drawing Policy Attention to Young Women and Girls of Color There is already a national campaign forming to highlight issues relating to "marginalized girls" in the criminal justice system and in communities. This campaign arose in part because of the White House's My Brother's Keeper initiative, which sought to focus attention on the urgent problems facing boys and LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094453 young men of color. President Obama has clearly made these issues a priority and has established the My Brother's Keeper Alliance to ensure this work continues. But girls and young women are also suffering from the consequences of segregation, racial bias in school discipline, and a criminal justice system that punishes girls for being victims of commercial sexual exploitation instead of providing services and supports. The campaign, spearheaded by the National Crittendon Women's Foundation, seeks to bring equal policy attention to the issues facing young women and girls. The campaign is also calling for a trauma-informed approach to services foryoungwomen and girls that recognizes many of them have suffered sexual violence and abuse and provides the appropriate services to enable them to recover and become healthy adults. The White House has responded to the campaign with a report on the challenges facing young women and girls of color and establishing a working group that will focus on these issues specifically. This effort is still in its early stages and, as of this writing, it is difficult to predict whether it will gain the same level of traction as the efforts aimed at boys. Place-Conscious Strategies As we discussed above, the evidence shows that where people live matters, and it particularly matters for children's outcomes (Chetty et al. 2015). Although the research on MTO shows living in poverty has gender-specific effects for boys and girls, the reality is that if we truly want to improve outcomes for a// children, we should aim to reduce their exposure to the risk of chronic disadvantage and CS Es. Our policies should focus on ensuring low-income families of color have the same ability to make choices for their families as higher-income families (Turner et al. 2014). And they should ensure families have good options to choose from-decent, affordable housing; safe neighborhoods; and good schools. Mobility programs like MTO can help families who want to move to access these kinds of neighborhoods. But mobility programs alone will not be sufficient to address the depth of need. We also need placebased interventions that aim to improve the life chances of children living in extremely low-income, distressed communities. Large-scale community redevelopment strategies and collective impact models are both important approaches with the potential to help struggling communities. But these approaches take a long time, and there is always the risk that significant redevelopment may displace, or at minimum create new stresses for, the low-income families who live there (Turner et al. 2014). Further, these broad, long-term interventions are not intended to address the urgent risks facing the young people growing up in these communities. Public health professionals and other experts have designed numerous "place-based" interventions designed to address sexual violence and coercion, but almost none are neighborhood based. Instead, LET C'.ilRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094454 the "places" these typically curriculum-centered interventions target most often are educational institutions, such as schools or college campuses. These institutions are communities unto themselves, albeit within neighborhoods, thus complicating the nature of their relationship with the surrounding geography. In spite of these limitations, we have identified a handful of evidence-based interventions (i.e., models that have established statistically significant positive findings based on experimental or quasi-experimental designed studies) that might be effective for addressing CS Es because they touch on relevant themes such as healthy adolescent sexual development, the prevention of dating violence, bystander training on how to intervene safely and effectively to reduce sexual violence, and parents as potentially protective factors against sexual coercion (table 1, p. 17). The Promoting Adolescent Sexual Health and Safety (PASS) program is a promising intervention designed to specifically address CS Es. PASS is a relatively new model that combines four curricular interventions and other program elements into a multilevel (individual, family, community) intervention. Researchers from the Urban Institute and the University of California at San Diego are collaborating with the DC Housing Authority, African American residents of Benning Terrace (a public housing community located in Ward 7 of the District), community-based h9ealth and social service organizations, and faith-based organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate programs to alter neighborhood factors that create CSE in order to reduce the high rates of sexual assault, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and teen pregnancy among girls 9to18 years old living in public housing. At the heart of the PASS intervention are four curricula: Sisters Rising, Brothers Rising, Youth Matter, and Parents Matter. Sisters Rising, a curriculum for older girls (ages 14 to 18), was designed by all partners through a National Institutes of Health- and Kellogg Foundation-funded community-based participatory research process. The curriculum draws on both research and evidence underlying programs like those discussed in table 1, as well as on community member wisdom. Brothers Rising, the older boys' curriculum, was developed in partnership with Men Can Stop Rape, a community-based organization in Washington, DC, and also findings from Coaching Boys into Men and Becoming a Man (table 1). Youth Matter and Parents Matter were developed by other organizations and selected for their capacity to reach younger children and parents. PASS is designed to work in tandem with local positive youth development and leadership efforts, as well as with family support and engagement initiatives. To reach sufficient numbers of people to affect the CS Es, PASS implements a "round" of each curriculum in sequence multiple times in a single neighborhood of concentrated disadvantage. Now that PASS has almost completed its pilot phase, partners are developing a full research agenda to refine the intervention and assess its effect on communities. LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094455 Conclusion Many forces have combined to produce the place-based and gender-specific phenomenon of CS Es. Concurrent and multifaceted approaches are now needed to eradicate it: first, more research on the exact nature and impact of the phenomenon; second, campaigns to raise public awareness and spark better policies capable of responding to the phenomenon; and third, programs on the ground in communities of concentrated disadvantage that are conducted in close partnership with the many girls, boys, parents, and other community members who are concerned about CS Es and ready to combat it. Together, let's let girls be girls who then grow into women with the bright futures they deserve.

At-risk males In-school Becoming a BAM is a Chicago-based in grades 7Man (BAM) program developed by programming, mentoring, and Youth Guidance that aims 12 after-school to reduce school dropout and violence among atsports risk male students. BAM offers in-school programming and in some cases includes afterschool sports in efforts to develop social-cognitive skills. The six core values of the program are integrity, accountability, self-determination, positive anger expression, visionary goal setting, and respect for womanhood. Frequency and duration Other elements 90-120 minutes two times per week for 13 weeks Includes topical discussion, as wel I as role playing, drama, dance, drawing Statistically significant improvement for girls include increases in self-efficacy, attachment to school, positive body image, and social support (Roa, Irvine, and Cervantez 2007). BAM operates during the school year. Includes group therapy sessions. The return on investment was found to be about 31 times the participant costs. The University of Chicago Crime Lab conducted a randomized control trial that demonstrated a 44 percent reduction in violent crime arrests and a 36 percent decrease in other arrests, increased GPAs, increased graduation rates by 10 to 23 percent, and a 53 percent decrease in the likelihood of a participant attending school in a juvenile justice setting (Heller et al. 2013). Findings LET GIRLS BEGIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094457 Name Description Programs focused on dating violence Safe Dates Safe Dates is a fivecom ponent dating abuse prevention tool for both male and female middle and high school students. Shifting Boundaries Shifting Boundaries is a two-part intervention (classroom curricula and schoolwide program) designed to reduce dating violence and sexual harassment among middle school students by highlighting the consequences of this behavior for perpetrators and by increasing faculty surveillance of unsafe areas within the school. Target population Setting(s) Frequency and duration Other elements Middle school- and high schoolaged males and females School, community youth enrichment, faith-based programs, counseling/edu cation programs, support groups Ten SO-minute sessions Includes games, smalland large- group discussions, writing exercises, journaling, role-playing, a poster contest, and drama Male and female middle school students ages 10-15 School Classroom sessions: six sessions taught over 6 to 10 weeks; Schoolwide sessions: six sessions taught over 6 to 10 weeks Classroom sessions include activities such as measuring personal space, identifying "hot spots" in school settings, highlighting safe and unsafe spaces, a fact-based component, and learning about state and federal laws. Schoolwide sessions include revising school protocols to identify and respond to dating violence and sexual harassment, temporary school-based restraining orders, and posters to increase awareness. Findings Compared with controls, adolescents receiving Safe Dates reported significantly less physical, serious physical, and sexual dating violence perpetration and victimization four years after the program. A booster did not improve the effectiveness of Safe Dates (Foshee et al. 2004). The building-only and the combined interventions were effective in reducing sexual violence victimization involving either peers or dating partners at six months post-intervention. This reduction was mirrored by reductions in sexual violence perpetration by peers in the building-only intervention (Taylor et al. 2013). LET GIRLS BE GIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094458 Name My Voice, My Choice (MVMC) Description MVMC is a 90-minute assertive resistance training program that emphasizes skill practice in an immersive virtual environment. The virtual reality portion of MCMV was developed by clinical psychologists in the Southern Methodist University Psychology Department in conjunction with SMU's Guildhall video gaming program. Coaching Boys into Men(CBIM) CBIMwasdeveloped by Futures Without Violence to facilitate high school athletic coaches' promotion of respectful behavior among their players and help prevent relationship abuse, harassment, and sexual assault. Target population Female adolescents Young men participating in high school athletics Setting(s) Any setting High school athletic teams Frequency and duration 90-minute program Recommended 15-minute weekly trainings for 12 weeks Other elements A facilitator explains and models assertive resistance (e.g., using a firm voice tone when coerced into sex). Participants then implement these techniques in a virtual reality setting, with feedback. Coach-led discussions, national advertising campaign Findings Participants assigned to MVMCwere less likely than control participants to report sexual victimization during the follow-up period. Results also suggest MVMC reduced risk for psychological victimization and for psychological distress among participants with greater prior victimization at baseline (Rowe, Jou riles, and McDonald 2015). After three months, participants were significantly more likely to intervene when witnessing abusive or disrespectful behaviors among their peers than those not in the program. After one year, they were more likely to report less abuse perpetration and less negative bystander behavior (Miller et al. 2012). LET GIRLS BEGIRLS KC-DemandAbolition-094459 Name Dating Matters Description Dating Matters was developed as a public health approach to address and prevent teen dating violence. Dating Matters® has both parent- and youthfocused programs containing curricula for students in grades 6-8 and their parents. These curricula address healthy relationships and socialemotional learning. Target population 11-to14year-old boys in high-risk urban communities and parents Programs focused on bystander intervention a Bringing in Bringing in the Bystander General public the was developed by the Bystander University of New Hampshire to address the role of community norms as a significant cause of sexual violence. Green Dot Developed by researchers at the University of Kentucky, Green Dot uses social change theory to make violence less sustainable within any given community. General public Setting(s) School based Frequency and duration Six to 10 sessions based on grade Other elements College campuses One or three 90-minute sessions Presentation of content, active learning exercises, creation of bystander plans and signing of pledges Schools, workplaces Varies between six hours and a weekend retreat Videos, roleplaying Findings Dating Matters is currently undergoing rigorous evaluation in several cities (Tharp 2012).

County staff and community organizations were well represented, and great ideas were shared regarding the task force's objectives and participants. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the meeting minutes. If you have additions or corrections, please feel free to e-mail me without copying the other people on the thread. I have also attached a copy of the Community Input Form for you to share among your networks.

All my best, Toshiko Hasegawa Executive Legislative Assistant Office of King County Councilmember Jeanne Kohl-Welles (206) 477-3774 KC-DemandAbolition-0944 74 King County Anti-Trafficking Task Force Preliminary Planning Meeting Wednesday 3/16/2016 2-4 pm MEETING MINUTES Objectives • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Address trafficking as a whole to include sex, labor, and organ trafficking. Think beyond the legal definition of "trafficking" to open the conversation to other areas where problems exist. Perform outreach to communities of color - individual communities have varied ranges of experiences around trafficking. How communities are impacted by trafficking and how we reach communities on awareness campaigns are distinct. Think about how we educate KC employees and the public - is the way information is spread culturally competent? Seek community empowerment by identifying and addressing root causes (e.g. limited opportunities in country of origin, racism, and poverty). Investigate areas where work is not being done in order to be intentional about filling needs where they exist. Identify problematic industries and supply chains in order to enforce corporate accountability. Look at how the county makes purchases, and hold KC accountable for how they conduct business. See what can be done within KC departments, offices, & SSI. Think about how victims and traffickers operate within the system. Think critically about male accountability. Address lack of resources allocated for human services - identify and reduce barriers. Make recommendations to KCC. The task force can go before the council with requests for funds and can also seek federal funding. Tool to justify funding to KCC, feds, and others. To those in business world who came from nonprofit or public sectors, human trafficking can be pillar of philanthropy. Frequency and Timeline of Meetings • • • Do not duplicate existing efforts covered by other task forces dealing with these issues. Many people on this task force are on several others and do not want to attend too many meetings with duplicate objectives. Coordinate with WA State task force, CSEC, and other counties. Limit activities to things King County has or can influence. KC-DemandAbolition-0944 75 Who Should Be Included • A wide range of community groups that reach into various ist generation/communities of color who feel the impact of HT • • Housing groups and shelters King County Government • • KC employees - There are 13,000 employees that can be eyes and ears in the community: public health, OCHS. • Look at how we permit to businesses.

Today: Causes. Things have gotten so bad in some fields that even the experts sometimes can't distinguish brilliance from gibberish. For example, in 2002 The New York Times reported that two French physicists (twin brothers named Bogdanov) had attracted a great deal of attention to their theory about what preceded the Big Bang. Here's a sample of their prose: "Then we suggest that the (pre-)spacetime is in thermodynamic equilibrium at the Planck-scale and is therefore subject to the KMS condition." According to one editor of a professional journal - a journal in which their work was published before the editors had "raised their standards" - the paper was "essentially impossible to read, like 'Finnegans Wake."' While a professor in France and another in Boston called the Bogdanovs' work potentially valuable, a professor in New York called it "nonsense" and another in Santa Barbara called it "nutty." The New York professor, a physicist at Columbia University, said: "Scientifically, it's clearly more or less complete nonsense, but these days that doesn't much distinguish it from a lot of the rest of the literature." The Bogdanovs defended themselves by saying, "Nonsense in the morning may make sense in the evening or the following day." For a full account of the affair, see Dennis Overbye, "Are They a) Geniuses orb) Jokers?" N.Y. Times, 9 Nov. 2002, at A19. This tale illustrates the beauty of obscurity: it's all but impossible to judge its content. The root of the problem is largely psychological: "Most obscurity, I suspect, comes not so much from incompetence as from ambition - the ambition to be admired for depth of sense, or pomp of sound, or wealth of ornament." F.L. Lucas, Style 74 (1962). More bluntly still: "The truth is that many writers today of mediocre talent, or no talent at all, cultivate a studied obscurity that only too often deceives the critics, who tend to be afraid that behind the smokescreen of words they are missing the effectual fire, and so for safety's sake give honour where no honour is due." KC-DemandAbol ition-094491 G.H. Vallins, The Best English 106 (1960). Excessive treatment of details often leads either to this substantive emptiness or to a self-defeating accuracy, in which it's difficult for the reader to discern the major points because of the cascading minutiae. In writing of this kind, sentences are often so heavily qualified that they become unreadable. Edgar Allan Poe put the point well: "In one case out of a hundred a point is excessively discussed because it is obscure; in the ninety-nine remaining it is obscure because excessively discussed" (as quoted in Ashbel G. Gulliver, Cases on Future Interests 13 [1959]). A final point If you're going to be obscure, don't promise simplicity. Calling your message easy and direct when it isn't will engender resentment in your readers. Consider this opening sentence from an article on healthcare law: "The message of this article is simple and straightforward: If you represent non-integrated provider-controlled contracting networks purporting to operate as messenger arrangements but which in actuality are fixing prices, the time has come to fix them so they comply with section 1 of the Sherman Act" Jeff Miles, "Ticking Antitrust Time Bombs: A Message to Messed-Up Messenger Models," Health Lawyers News, Nov. 2002, at 5. Now try rereading it slowly to see if you can make out any glimmer of a point Guess what The healthcare lawyers who sent it to me as an example of poor prose didn't understand it either.

Garner's Usage Tip of the Day Obscurity (2). Today: Causes. Things have gotten so bad in some fields that even the experts sometimes can't distinguish brilliance from gibberish. For example, in 2002 The New York Times reported that two French physicists (twin brothers named Bogdanov) had attracted a great deal of attention to their theory about what preceded the Big Bang. Here's a sample of their prose: "Then we suggest that the (pre-)spacetime is in thermodynamic equilibrium at the Planck-scale and is therefore subject to the KMS condition." According to one editor of a professional journal - a journal in which their work was published before the editors had "raised their standards" - the paper was "essentially impossible to read, like 'Finnegans Wake."' While a professor in France and another in Boston called the Bogdanovs' work potentially valuable, a professor in New York called it "nonsense" and another in Santa Barbara called it "nutty." The New York professor, a physicist at Columbia University, said: "Scientifically, it's clearly more or less complete nonsense, but these days that doesn't much distinguish it from a lot of the rest of the literature." The Bogdanovs defended themselves by saying, "Nonsense in the morning may make sense in the evening or the following day." For a full KC-DemandAbolition-094493 account of the affair, see Dennis Overbye, "Are They a) Geniuses orb) Jokers?" N.Y. Times, 9 Nov. 2002, at A19. This tale illustrates the beauty of obscurity: it's all but impossible to judge its content. The root of the problem is largely psychological: "Most obscurity, I suspect, comes not so much from incompetence as from ambition - the ambition to be admired for depth of sense, or pomp of sound, or wealth of ornament." F.L. Lucas, Style 74 (1962). More bluntly still: "The truth is that many writers today of mediocre talent, or no talent at all, cultivate a studied obscurity that only too often deceives the critics, who tend to be afraid that behind the smokescreen of words they are missing the effectual fire, and so for safety's sake give honour where no honour is due." G.H. Vallins, The Best English 106 (1960). Excessive treatment of details often leads either to this substantive emptiness or to a self-defeating accuracy, in which it's difficult for the reader to discern the major points because of the cascading minutiae. In writing of this kind, sentences are often so heavily qualified that they become unreadable. Edgar Allan Poe put the point well: "In one case out of a hundred a point is excessively discussed because it is obscure; in the ninety-nine remaining it is obscure because excessively discussed" (as quoted in Ashbel G. Gulliver, Cases on Future Interests 13 [1959]). A final point. If you're going to be obscure, don't promise simplicity. Calling your message easy and direct when it isn't will engender resentment in your readers. Consider this opening sentence from an article on healthcare law: "The message of this article is simple and straightforward: If you represent non-integrated provider-controlled contracting networks purporting to operate as messenger arrangements but which in actuality are fixing prices, the time has come to fix them so they comply with section 1 of the Sherman Act." Jeff Miles, "Ticking Antitrust Time Bombs: A Message to Messed-Up Messenger Models," Health Lawyers News, Nov. 2002, at 5. Now try rereading it slowly to see if you can make out any glimmer of a point. Guess what. The healthcare lawyers who sent it to me as an example of poor prose didn't understand it either.

It is of KC-DemandAbol ition-094501 utmost importance to us that JB is energizing and motivating for you. We want you to want to be part of this. The reason you were invited to be part of this effort is because you are like-minded, strategic thinkers who have successfully applied creative solutions to hard problems. That is our vision for this effort - that it results in systemic change while remaining devoid of bureaucratic BS. As outlined in the attached document, we think the first step in guiding this effort is to develop a very clear strategic plan. Ian works with a Denver-based to guide the direction of his organization. This consultant has offered to create a JB plan for us. I know this might sound wonky, it's not. It's a really effective mechanism for clarifying goals, identifying capability gaps, key partners and measurable outcomes. We'd like to meet with this consultant sometime before July. It would be a one day (and one non-mandatory overnight) at a ranch in Breckenridge, CO. We recognize that your time is precious, and it might not be possible for you to attend this gathering in Colorado. Please let me know if one of the following dates may work for you.

All JB communications are considered confidential and should only be discussed with other members of the JB team (right now, that's limited to those on the To line). 2. Decisions to invite other people into the JB team should be agreed upon by the existing team. Our intent is to expand the circle, but we'd like to develop a clear strategy first so we can be intentional about who else we approach. 3. We will generally avoid written communication, especially as it pertains to substantive content.

Please let me know what you think of the above, and that absolutely means I welcome criticism too. We want this to be a true partnership, so it's important to Ian and I that everyone's voice is heard. We'd love to create a community where each of us walks away feeling more connected to why we're doing this work, and more encouraged and supported in our ability to effect largescale change. Please let me know what you think about Colorado by Tuesday, 22 March. It doesn't have to be anything definite, we just need to coordinate dates with the ranch in Breckinridge. I need to close with this - there are few things in life that I love more than being around people who think big thoughts and then do something about them.

Please let me know what you think about Colorado by Tuesday, 22 March. It doesn't have to be anything definite, we just need to coordinate dates with the ranch in Breckinridge. I need to close with this - there are few things in life that I love more than being around people who think big thoughts and then do something about them. As someone new to this field, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to meet all of you and get to work alongside of you.

I am going to have a powerpoint so I've set up a Go To Meeting. Details are below. I'm planning on running through the powerpoint quickly so that you all have a better understanding of the NHTRC, then give some talking points. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Sha let me know that the three of you will be providing law enforcement training in 5 locations within the next few months and offered to make sure this included hotline services and getting on our protocols which is perfect. I think it would be best if the four of us got on a call so that I could do a quick review of the NHTRC, give you all talking points, and answer any questions you may have. Before the first training on April 15th would be best. I'm free all day Friday 3/25 and Wednesday 3/30 (except 3pm est). Do either of those dates work for the three of you? Thanks!

As promised, I have included some materials about the NHTRC that may be of use for you as a quick reminder as well as handouts during training. The NHTRC 4 Pager is a great snapshot ofNHTRC services and stats. The 2015 State Reports are coming out at the end of the month but for now you may use the 2014 State Report. The NHTRC Flyer and Regional Map is attached. Talking points: • NHTRC is the national, 24 hour confidential hotline for human trafficking. Meant to connect victims and survivors with critical support to stay safe and equip the anti-trafficking community with tools to combat trafficking. • National, centralized safe space around the clock to report tips, seek services and ask for help. • Trained, professional Hotline Advocates will always answer. • BEFREE text line provides the same services. • Specialized reporting and referral protocols. • Connects and supports local actors.

The training will be all day on April 15 in Everett. Kate, Sha and I have drafted a proposed training curriculum/agenda which is attached. We have also assigned you various session in the agenda based on what we thought you would be particularly good at and enjoy. You can see your proposed session on the agenda. Please take a look at it and confirm that you are able and willing to do this. If your schedule has changed or there is some other issue, please let us know ASAP so we can get someone else, but we believe this is a very strong panel of presenters. Kate, Sha and I are working on very basic powerpoints for each of the sessions to serve as outlines or guides. You can modify them as you see fit, but we just wanted to give you a starting point to help convey what topics we want to cover. This should help reduce prep time. We should have those to everyone early next week. If you have any questions at all, please let us know.

There is a lot of citing of "research" that goes on by advocates that is not really all that sound. But more to the point, I am unclear about who is arguing that it is OK to have a certain# of kids sexually exploited or what policies are still in place that are supportive of that.

Rather it is a sophisticated online network and community that is self-perpetuating, and is more akin to loosely organized terrorist networks - a successful response to trafficking requires that law enforcement aggressively address the demand for commercial sex - but law enforcement is not sufficient to solve the problem; a multi-pronged approach is necessary similar to the response to smoking over the last forty years Sent from my iPhone KC-DemandAbolition-094586 To: Grisham, Catherine (USAWAW) (Catherine.Crisham@usdoj.gov)[Catherine.Crisham@usdoj.gov] Cc: Richey, Valiant[Valiant.Richey@kingcounty.gov]; Talebi, Farshad (ATG) (FarshadT@ATG.WA.GOV)[FarshadT@ATG.WA.GOV] From: Richey, Valiant Sent: Fri 4/1/2016 11 :25:44 AM Subject: working with victims Hi Kate, Sha and I pulled together the attached slides to help prep the presentations on Working with Victims and Victim Services. The slides relate to both topics to be covered by Dani and Kathleen, but obviously they will probably want to add content and maybe to divide up the content. We aren't really sure how to approach them about coordinating with each other. We thought you might be better positioned to address this given your position vis-a-vis each of them. Thoughts? Second, we looked at the slides for Mo's presentation on Interviewing and there is no way he can cover all that in 20 minutes. So ... we are proposing reducing Kathleen and Dani's time from 20 to 15 each and reducing the breakout from 30 to 25, so that Mo has 40 minutes for Interviewing. Does that work? Third, we had the same problem with Mike G and Operations, so we increased his time to 60 and reduced Carlos to 25 and Kyle to 20. Okay? The updated agenda is attached also.

Many trafficking survivors are arrested for acts directly related to having been trafficked. For many, pursuing stability and independence once no longer trafficked is hindered by their own criminal records. Encouragingly, many states have passed vacatur laws offering survivors relief. These vacatur laws allow survivors to petition to have their records cleared if they can show that their crimes arose from their victimization. SRP will build sustainable vacatur practices across the country by training attorneys to help survivors of human trafficking clear their criminal records. With a faculty of consultants who have successfully litigated the first vacatur cases for survivors nationwide, the project offers free technical assistance and attorney support.

I KC-DemandAbolition-094 713 Why Support in 2016? Sex buyers have a choice in prostitution, the adolescent and women served by the Organization for Prostitution Survivors (OPS) do not OPS is changing the community response to prostitution. OPS provides survivor-led services to help youth and adult victims of commercial sexual exploitation get out of prostitution. And with a new program, Stopping Sexual Exploitation: A Program for Men, we are teaching men about the harm of prostitution and holding them accountable. Stopping Sexual Exploitation (SSE) is a court-referred program for men convicted of sex buying. After completing SSE-95% of men said that they do not think they will buy sex again. What convicted sex buyers had to say after completing Stopping Sexual Exploitation "Keep this program going to educate the community & spread the word." "It is just as much our fault as the pimp who forces her on the street." "I learned about how prostitution isn't really a choice and that even if I did treat her nice it won't stop the pain that she might receive from others." "The arrest stopped me. I would have never bought sex again, but the program taught me why I should never buy sex again." "I'm going to raise my son differently. I don't want him to be so angry and depressed all the time like me." OPS has a new approach to prostitution: supporting survivors and addressing the root cause-demand. Help us end sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation by supporting our work to reeducate sex buyers. -Make an IMPACT!

The slides relate to both topics to be covered by Dani and Kathleen, but obviously they will probably want to add content and maybe to divide up the content. We aren't really sure how to approach them about coordinating with each other. We thought you might be better positioned to address this given your position vis-a-vis each of them. Thoughts? Second, we looked at the slides for Mo's presentation on Interviewing and there is no way he can cover all that in 20 minutes. So ... we are proposing reducing Kathleen and Dani's time from 20 to 15 each and reducing the breakout from 30 to 25, so that Mo has 40 minutes for Interviewing. Does that work? Third, we had the same problem with Mike G and Operations, so we increased his time to 60 and reduced Carlos to 25 and Kyle to 20. Okay? The updated agenda is attached also.

I wanted to touch base with you both on the upcoming April 15 statewide sex trafficking training in Everett, at which you have both kindly agreed to present. Per the near-final agenda, which attached to this email, you are both scheduled to present in the morning at 10:45 on Working with Victims (Kathleen) and Victim Services (Dani). We anticipate that you will both have about 15 minutes to present. I've attached a powerpoint that addresses both of your topic areas. (Kathleen, this powerpoint will be familiar to you!) I think it probably makes the most sense for the two of you to review, and then talk and decide together who wants to cover what slide. Of course, please feel free to tinker with these, add your own style/format, etc. We just wanted to send you a powerpoint both to reduce your prep time, as well as to give you a sense of what content should be covered. I will not be at the training, as I'm out of the office on vacation all of next week, but I am copying Sha and Val on this email, as they'll be able to answer any questions. Thank you again to both of you for taking the time to share your incredible expertise with the attendees - we so appreciate it.

I wanted to touch base with you both on the upcoming April 15 statewide sex trafficking training in Everett, at which you have both kindly agreed to present. Per the near-final agenda, which attached to this email, you are both scheduled to present in the morning at 10:45 on Working with Victims (Kathleen) and Victim Services (Dani). We anticipate that you will both have about 15 minutes to present. I've attached a powerpoint that addresses both of your topic areas. (Kathleen, this powerpoint will be familiar to you!) I think it probably makes the most sense for the two of you to review, and then talk and decide together who wants to cover what slide. Of course, please feel free to tinker with these, add your own style/format, etc. We just wanted to send you a powerpoint both to reduce your prep time, as well as to give you a sense of what content should be covered. I will not be at the training, as I'm out of the office on vacation all of next week, but I am copying Sha and Val on this email, as they'll be able to answer any questions. Thank you again to both of you for taking the time to share your incredible expertise with the attendees - we so appreciate it.

"The jury agrees with you that something really horrible has happened. When you get a guilty verdict, there's an enormous sense of relief but not triumph. You don't pump your fists in the air in victory." .::..:.:::.=.::::....:..:.:..:::..::..::::· "I remember thinking, 'I'm going to kill the next man who touches me.

"I knew I had to get out." KC-DemandAbolition-094832 There were many times Noel had tried to leave prostitution before, but her pimp threatened her and physically beat her-beat her so thoroughly that she once ended up unconscious and then awoke covered in her own blood in a local emergency room where she had to undergo CT scans for brain damage. ::..;:;;:.::::::..::::..==· Guilty Verdict in Home Invasion Robbery, Murder: State v. Corey Mann and Gary Sanders: Two men will be sentenced later this month in connection with the fatal beating of a 24-year-old woman during a home invasion robbery in Kent in 2013. A jury convicted defendants Corey Mann, 28, and Michael Galloway, 32, last month of Murder in the First Degree as charged for the brutal murder of Latasha Walker at her apartment in Kent. Mann faces a sentence range of 30 to 40 years and Sanders will face a sentence of 20 to 26 % years in prison. They will be sentenced April 15 before Judge Veronica Alicea Galvan at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center. Sanders will be sentenced at 9 a.m. and Mann at 1 p.m. Two co-defendants were sentenced last month for their involvement in the murder. Michael Galloway, 33, was sentenced to 12 years and Tiana Wood-Sims was sentenced to 14 % years. Both pied guilty last year to a charge of Murder in the Second Degree and testified at the trial of Mann and Sanders. Dozens of Walker's family members attended the sentencing hearing, many of them wearing shirts with Walker's picture. Several of them addressed the court. The case was investigated by Kent Police Detective Brendan Wales, and prosecuted by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Adrienne McCoy, victim advocate Karen Kunde, and paralegal Angela Blocki. Guilty Verdict in 2013 Fatal Shooting in Eastlake: State v. Tomas M. Berhe: A jury has convicted a 34-year-old man in a shooting that left one man dead and another injured in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood on July 22, 2013. The jury convicted the defendant, Tomas M. Berhe, last month on charges of Murder in the First Degree and Assault in the First Degree as charged for the shooting that killed Everett Williams and injured a friend of Williams. Both of the charges include firearm sentencing enhancements. The defendant ambushed the victim as he sat in his car, firing several rounds into the car. Berhe faces a sentence range of 37 to nearly 47 years in prison, which includes the firearm enhancements. Sentencing is scheduled for May 26 at 9 a.m. before King County Superior Court Judge Mariane Spearman at the King County Courthouse. The case was investigated by Seattle Police Detectives Al Cruise and Russ Weklych. SPD's Garry Boulden is the victim advocate. The case was prosecuted by Senior Deputy Prosecutors Wyman Yip and Brian Wynne and paralegal Angela Blocki. Sentencing Set for Registered Sex Offender Convicted of Rape: State v. Michael Shawn Stanley: Sentencing has been scheduled for April 29 for sex offender Michael Shawn Stanley, who was convicted by a jury in February of raping a 69-year-old woman in Skyway last year. The defendant had entered the victim's home through a window and then sexually assaulted her. The jury found Stanley guilty of Burglary in the First Degree with sexual motivation and Rape in the Second Degree as charged in the February 27, 2015 attack. The same jury made a separate finding on an aggravating factor of rapid recidivism. The jury found that the current offense was committed a short time after the defendant was released from incarceration on a burglary conviction. The aggravator can be used as a basis for an exceptional sentence. Prosecutors will be recommending an exceptional sentence of 50 years in prison. Stanley, 50, also faces a potential indeterminate maximum sentence of up to life in prison. Because of Stanley's criminal history, he was designated as a level three sex offender. In 2013, he cut off his monitoring ankle bracelet in Canada and entered in to the U.S. The sentencing on April 29 is scheduled for 9: 15 a.m. before Judge Kenneth Schubert at the King County Courthouse. The case was investigated by King County Sheriff's Detective Chris Knudsen and prosecuted by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Hugh Barber, Deputy Prosecutor Wes Brenner and paralegal Kristen Anderson. KC-DemandAbolition-094833 Frontline takes a look at the heroin epidemic that is sweeping the country and is particularly virulent here in the greater Seattle area. Cities all over the country are starting to embrace public health approaches to the heroin problem. Seattle has taken a particularly unique approach to handling its drug problems-an approach that is drawing national attention. It's known as Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion, or LEAD.

Under her guidance, the NW Network has developed a regional LGBTQ youth anti-violence program serving LGBTQ youth who experience domestic, sexual and hate violence, trafficking, and a host of other victimizations. This training will look at the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning youth who exchange sex for money, clothing, drugs, a place to stay or other survival needs. This training is designed to start the conversation and equip anti-violence advocates, youth workers, and first responders with initial skills and framework necessary to help support LGBT youth in the sex trade.

In the event the consenting person(s) is/are unable to contact this/these suspect(s) at that time, and because it is not uncommon that several conversations and/ or communications are required to complete this phase of the investigation, I am requesting authority to record, for 24 hours, all conversations and/or communications about the above-listed crimes that occur between the above-identified consenting person( s) and suspect( s) or others they bring into the interaction. At least one of the conversations or communications is expected to occur at the above-identified location, or at location( s) suggested by the suspect( s) in this investigation. Investigators plan to approach the above-identified criminal suspect( s) at the above-identified address/area, or at any other location the suspect( s) or their designee( s) suggest( s). If a telephone number for the suspect( s) is known or learned, investigators may also record telephone conversations between the consenting person( s) and/ or the suspect( s) or other persons the suspect( s) bring into the conversations or communications. These could be calls to or calls from the suspect(s). Because most persons telephones, including those used by the listed undercover officer(s) and/or informant( s) in this investigation, are now mobile, investigators cannot specifically predict where those telephone conversations will be recorded. I anticipate that the undercover officer(s) and/or cooperating witness( es) will be at the above-listed location( s) when they make calls to the suspect( s). Was there an attempt to obtain court authorization pursuant to RCW 9.73.090?: Probable cause to believe that the conversation or communications will concern the type of illegal activity addressed in RCW 9.73.230: My belief is based upon the following facts and circumstances: Being first duly sworn, Detective _ _ _ _ _ _ _ deposes and says that: EVIDENCE GATHERING-- SWORN DECLARATION AND AUTHORIZATION TO INTERCEPT, RECORD, OR TRANSMIT CONVERSATIONS OR COMMUNICATIONS - 2 Revised 03.31.16 KC-DemandAbol ition-094851 I am a commissioned Law Enforcement Officer workin currently assigned to I am engaged in an investigation of the above-listed criminal suspect( s) for participation in the above-listed crime( s). This application is based on information I have gained from my own investigation, personal observations, training and experience, as well as information related to me by other detectives, police officers, and/or federal agents through oral and written reports. Further, I have reviewed and am familiar with the investigative file in this matter. I am familiar with equipment used to covertly record conversations and communications, and have successfully used the equipment in field conditions. In this investigation I am working with a confidential informant . I am familiar with this informant, and have worked with him/her several times in the past. The informant has provided me with consistently reliable information that has led to several arrests successful search warrants and the seizure of evidence of criminal activit . It is my belief that the interception and recording of the anticipated conversations and communications are of primary importance to the success of this investigation, and would be evidence of the above-listed suspect(s)' criminal intent and commission of the crimes described herein. Recording such conversations and communications serves the best interests of the subject( s) of this authorization, as well as the public, by preserving the best evidence of the conversations and communications as well as all inculpatory and exculpatory information; providing direct information relevant to the credibility of the recorded speakers; reducing any likelihood that the speakers' words or meanings will be misinterpreted, and by providing evidence related to any entrapment claim that may later be alleged. In view of the foregoing and based upon my training and experience, I believe there is probable cause to believe that communications and/ or conversations concerning the above-listed crime( s) will occur beginning on the above-listed date and time, and/or during the subsequent 24 hours, involving the above-identified consenting person(s) with the above-identified criminal suspect(s), and any other persons who the listed suspect( s) bring into the conversation or transaction; that those communications and/or conversations will be evidence of those crimes; and that interception and recording of those communications and/ or conversations by any device or instrument should be authorized commencing at the above-stated date and time, to be completed no later than 24 hours from the date and time this authorization is granted.

Pursuant to the officer( s)/detective(s) searched the phone, viewing to the extent possible, and in an abundance of caution, only the text messages and emails that were received by the device that has read, or that arrived in the device before the phone-owner was arrested.

In these communications, the CS/UC will attempt to negotiate a transaction involving the above-referenced crime. Officers also anticipate intercepting conversations or communications from additional unknown suspects who contact the owner of the cellular telephone for the purpose of engaging in the listed crime. The CS/UC(s) referenced in this document has/have consented to have his/her/their conversations or communications intercepted and/or recorded.

I wanted to touch base with you both on the upcoming April 15 statewide sex trafficking training in Everett, at which you have both kindly agreed to present. Per the near-final agenda, which attached to this email, you are both scheduled to present in the morning at 10:45 on Working with Victims (Kathleen) and Victim Services (Dani). We anticipate that you will both have about 15 minutes to present. I've attached a powerpoint that addresses both of your topic areas. (Kathleen, this powerpoint will be familiar to you!) I think it probably makes the most sense for the two of you to review, and then talk and decide together who wants to cover what slide. Of course, please feel free to tinker with these, add your own style/format, etc. We just wanted to send you a powerpoint both to reduce your prep time, as well as to give you a sense of what content should be covered. I will not be at the training, as I'm out of the office on vacation all of next week, but I am copying Sha and Val on this email, as they'll be able to answer any questions. Thank you again to both of you for taking the time to share your incredible expertise with the attendees - we so appreciate it.

If possible, it'd be great if you could arrange your flights to arrive in Denver by 4pm, to allow time to get up the mountain before dinner. If that does not work with your schedule, no problem at all.
