Sec. 11. (a) As used in this section, "trafficked child" means a child who was the victim of human trafficking ( IC 35-42-3.5 ), regardless of whether the person who committed the human trafficking offense was charged, tried, or convicted. The term includes a person who is now an adult. (b) Upon the written motion of a trafficked child, or any person acting on behalf of a trafficked child, the court that adjudicated the trafficked child a delinquent child shall vacate the adjudication issued with respect to the trafficked child, if the movant proves by a preponderance of the evidence that: (1) the child was a trafficked child at the time the child performed the delinquent act that resulted in the adjudication; (2) the delinquent act did not result in bodily injury to another person; and (3) at the time the child committed the delinquent act, the child was: (A) coerced by; or (B) under the control of; another person. (c) Before vacating an adjudication under subsection (b), the court shall: (1) forward a copy of the motion to the prosecuting attorney; and (2) conduct a hearing at which the prosecuting attorney and the movant are entitled to be heard.
