1. An individual convicted of prostitution or an offense listed in subsection 1 of section 12.1-41-12 which was committed as a direct result of being a victim may apply by motion to the court to vacate the conviction and seal the record of conviction. The court may grant the motion on a finding that the individual's participation in the offense was a direct result of being a victim. 2. Official determination or documentation is not required to grant a motion by an individual under subsection 1, but an official determination or documentation from a federal, state, local, or tribal agency that the individual was a victim at the time of the offense creates a presumption that the individual's participation was a direct result of being a victim. 3. A motion filed under subsection 1, any hearing conducted on the motion, and any relief granted are governed by chapter 29-32.1.
