What Is Sex Trafficking Under Arizona Law?

Under Arizona law, 18 U.S. Code § 1591, sex trafficking is a serious crime penalized under both state and federal law. It involves compelling a person to engage in commercial sex actions through the use of fraud, force, or coercion.

In situations where the victim is a minor under the age of 18, the penalties are more significant. The consequences faced by a convicted person for sex trafficking a minor under the age of 14 involve prison for 15 years to life. If the vehicle is 14 to 17 years of age, prison terms range from 10 years to life.

Arizona law takes this one step further by criminalizing child sex trafficking. Adult sex trafficking is outlawed, with lesser penalties. In all cases, seeking the help of a Mesa sex trafficking defense attorney is essential to protecting your future. Review our frequently asked questions to learn more.

What Commercially Facilitating Indicates

Under Arizona law, sex crimes involving sex trafficking of children face stern penalties if charged with commercially facilitating sex trafficking or child prostitution. This type of charge indicates that:

• A person causes, uses, or permits a child to engage in these actions.
• The person receives any benefit for allowing this to occur.
• They provide any means by which a minor engages in such acts.
• They entice, recruit, harbor, or otherwise make available a child for such acts.

How We Defend Against Sex Trafficking Claims

Those charged with sex trafficking face an uphill battle convincing a judge or jury they are innocent. Our objective as your lawyer is to build a strong case that discredits those statements as significantly as possible.

We employ one or more defensive strategies to achieve this, tailored to the specifics of your case. Some of those strategies may include:

• Illegal search and seizure of evidence can be used to make the evidence the prosecutor is using against you no longer accessible.
• False identity is when we argue why it could not be you or how someone could have mistaken you for these acts.
• Consent, when possible, can show that there was no sex trafficking, such as the use of text messages that indicate it was consensual.
• False accusations, backed by statements from witnesses or other evidence, can sometimes demonstrate that the other person is simply lying.
• Tainted evidence indicates that the evidence may not be accurate or properly understood for some reason.
• Flawed computer forensics, a method very important in disproving DNA testing, shows that there was some flaw in that process that casts doubt.

Each situation requires a carefully designed defense strategy, one that identifies all areas of weakness for the prosecutor and demonstrates alternative outcomes. It is important to work with a lawyer who can develop a strong, creative, and innovative strategy tailored to your specific situation. You can expect our Mesa sex trafficking defense lawyers to do that for you.
