Modern slavery and human trafficking

Section 45, of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 provides a statutory defence for slavery and trafficking victims who commit a criminal offence(s).

Are you vulnerable, exploited and being taken advantage of?

Modern slavery is a complex area of law concerning multiple forms of exploitation, which include:

People trafficking/sexual exploitation (leading authority on the policy not to prosecute those who are themselves victims of trafficking).

8-week people-trafficking trial involving international intercept evidence.

I’m currently defending a 21-year-old male who was tricked and trafficked to the UK with a promise of a better life.
