Statute
O.R.S. §137.221
In Oregon, a survivor of sex trafficking can petition to vacate a conviction for prostitution offenses that were committed “at or around the time” the survivor was a victim of sex trafficking. The law is limited to state or municipal prostitution charges.
Survivors are required to wait at least 21 days after the conviction to file a motion to vacate the judgment of conviction. Upon receiving the motion, the law requires the court to hold a hearing. If the court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that the offenses were committed at or around the time the person was a victim of sex trafficking, the court shall grant the motion.
