Prosecutors Strategies for Child Sex Trafficking and Exploitation Cases

November 17, 2021

Time

Session

8:00 AM -8:15 AM

Welcome & Introduction

Participants will be welcomed to the training by the event moderator, and an introduction to today’s training platform and expectations will be presented.

8:15 AM -9:00 AM

Introduction to Prosecuting Child Sex Trafficking Cases

This module will highlight unique aspects of human trafficking cases and how they arrive for prosecution. Participants will be introduced to human trafficking, the nature and scope of the problem, why they should be involved, the issues and laws that are implicated and the prosecutor’s role in such cases.

9:00 AM -10:30 AM

Case Identification, Evidence Review and Case Intake

This module will introduce participants to the various ways that human trafficking cases might present, from both informed investigators searching for trafficking cases and for accidental disclosures occurring in other types of criminal investigations. This module will highlight how a MDT approach for HT cases differs from traditional MDTS and how a MDT can help with prosecution. Participants will learn how to evaluate human trafficking cases to determine if more evidence can be found and what charges are appropriate.

10:30 AM -12:00 PM

Ethical Considerations

This module will address the legal ethical considerations that develop in a human trafficking case. We will discuss charging decisions, interview strategies, and issues that develop in preparation for and during trial. Accepting these ethical challenges as part of the trafficking case and developing a system of disclosure will allow the prosecutor to effectively prosecute these cases.

12:00 PM -1:00 PM

Lunch Break

Please remain logged into the virtual training platform during this break. Return promptly/on time to ensure full attendance for the training.

1:00 PM -2:30 PM

Case Evaluation and Pre-Trial

This module will include a discussion of bond conditions, venue, grand jury testimony, and ethical and legal issues related to trafficking cases. Participants will learn how to evaluate human trafficking cases to determine whether they can proceed without the victim. Participants will learn various motions to consider presenting to the Court in human trafficking cases, what motions to expect from the defendants and how to adequately respond to such motions. Pretrial motions, testifying agreements, and immunity agreements will be discussed as part of the prosecutor’s strategy in managing a CST case.

2:30 PM -4:00 PM

Trial Considerations

This module will present issues the prosecutor needs to consider as she is preparing her case. Issues presented in jury selection can affect the outcome of the case. Strategies for the ordering of witnesses, the presentation of evidence and managing trial surprises will be discussed. This module will explain the use of expert witnesses and developing experts from available resources. Expert testimony is crucial to aid the jury in understanding the dynamics of trafficking and the extent of victimization. Preparing for cross-examination of the trafficker is also an essential part of trial preparation.

4:00 PM -4:45 PM

Opening/Closing Arguments and Jury Instruction

This module will highlight effective courtroom techniques for opening and closing arguments to the jury. Legal issues required to select proper instruction for the jury will be discussed.

4:45 PM -5:00 PM

Evaluations and Closing

Final questions will be discussed. Required post-course activities will be explained, including how course evaluations and certificates of attendance will be processed.
