Oklahoma HB3835 amends state law to allow victims of human trafficking to petition for expungement of criminal records related to offenses they committed while being trafficked. The bill removes the requirement for official documentation or prior determination of victimization to obtain an expungement. Instead, victims can submit an affidavit from a service provider or law enforcement expert witness attesting to their status. The court must consider the definition of human trafficking and whether the defendant was a victim when deciding whether to grant the expungement.
