<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The prevalence of human trafficking across the country is widespread—spanning small, rural jurisdictions to sprawling cities—and affects both domestic and foreign-born children and adults. Because of the coercive
and violent nature of human trafficking, it is common for victims to experience overlapping forms of victimization, particularly domestic violence and sexual assault. Yet, many survivors are unrecognized, criminalized, or do not receive adequate services to
address their complex needs. How can multidisciplinary groups work together to identify survivors and direct them to services? How can key stakeholders enhance their capacity and collaboration to meet survivors’ needs?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This five-part webinar series offers strategies, practical tips, case studies, and resources to help domestic violence and sexual assault service providers improve outcomes for human trafficking survivors.
Each webinar highlights models for potential replication and features local and national subject matter experts.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:22.0pt;font-family:"Batang","serif";font-variant:small-caps;color:#4F81BD">US Supreme Court Decision: Ohio v. Clark<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Decided June 18, 2015<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt">FACTS: <o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Darius Clark sent his GF away to engage in ‘prostitution’ while he agreed to care for her 3-year old son, L.P., and 18-month old daughter, A.T. A day after the GF left, teachers at L.P.’s daycare discovered
injuries on L.P. When questioned, the boy indicated that the Respondent/Defendant (Clark) had caused them. Clark was subsequently charged and tried on multiple counts related to the abuse of both children. At trial, the State introduced evidence of L.P.’s
statements to his teachers. L.P., under Ohio rules of evidence, was deemed an “incompetent” witness and did not testify. At trial, Clark objected to the introduction of L.P.’s statements to his teachers. The trial court denied the objection and allowed in
the evidence. Clark was convicted and sentenced to 28 years. Ohio state’s Appellate Court reversed his conviction. Ohio’s Supreme Court, on a 4-3 vote, affirmed the Appellate Court’s ruling and held that under the 6<sup>th</sup> Amendment’s Confrontation Clause,
L.P.’s statements should not have been admitted. The US Supreme Court accepted the case and in this (unanimous) decision REVERSES the decision of the Ohio Supreme Court, reinstating the convictions.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt">HOLDING:<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The question in the case is whether the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause prohibited prosecutors from introducing L.P’s statements to his teachers when the child was not available to be cross-examined.
Because neither the child nor his teachers had the “primary purpose” of assisting in Clark’s prosecution, the child’s statements do not implicate the Confrontation Clause and therefore were admissible at trial.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For non-testifying witnesses, IF their statements are “testimonial”: 1) the witness must be unavailable; and 2) the Defendant must have had a previous opportunity to cross-examine the witness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">To determine if statements are “testimonial,” you must look at the “primary purpose” for the statement. A statement qualifies as “testimonial” if the “primary purpose” of the conversation was to “create an
out-of-court substitute for trial testimony.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If the statement is NOT testimonial, state and federal rules of evidence (not the 6<sup>th</sup> Amendment) apply.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Confrontation Clause does not bar every statement that satisfies the “primary purpose” test; it does not prohibit the introduction of out-of-court statements that would have been admissible in a criminal
case at the time of founding. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
