LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón unveiled on March 31 a diversion program in which a judge can dismiss and vacate the arrests, convictions, and probation violations of human trafficking victims in misdemeanor or non-serious, non-violent felony cases.
The county’s first Human Trafficking Diversion Court program will be first launched at the Pomona courthouse, with the hope of implementing it in other areas of Los Angeles County that are plagued by human trafficking, according to a statement released by the District Attorney’s Office.
