Introduced

To revise a criminal code provision establishing that a victim's resistance or lack of resistance to the actor is not relevant in a human trafficking prosecution. Under the bill, a person could not be excused from testifying or providing other evidence on the grounds that doing so would “tend to degrade or incriminate the person.” However, it would prohibit using “truthful testimony” and evidence against the witness in a criminal case, except for witness impeachment purposes in a perjury or related prosecution.
