After a recent Solano County Superior Court ruling denied a survivor of sex trafficking the right to restitution from her trafficker, California Attorney General Rob Bonta—the state’s chief law officer—recommended this week the court reverse its decision.
Mr. Bonta filed an amicus brief with the court Oct. 23 saying he has “great interest” in the legal issue and is able to assist with his perspective and argument on the matter. In such a brief, the court can consider or ignore Mr. Bonta’s remarks.
