3 as how members of the faith-based community can assist their local law enforcement and service providers in providing for the needs of survivors. US v. Xavier Villanueva, et al Presenter: Sgt. Patrick Guckian, Orlando Police Department A 14 year old habitual runaway from Orlando is befriended and recruited by an adult female and groomed into trafficking. The victim is then introduced, through the female recruiter, to a criminal street gang. The victim is controlled through the drug molly (MDMA) and then put into commercial sex through internet prostitution, street walking prostitution, and providing sexual favors to other gang members. The use of cell phones, digital images uploaded onto computers and distributed through web sites, and use of a national hotel chain provide interstate nexus and the victimization at the hands of a street gang demonstrated organization of the offenders. Target Audience: Law Enforcement and Prosecutors. Identification required to enter. Missing & Exploited: Child Sex Trafficking Reporting and Recovery Planning Melissa Snow, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children operates as the national clearing house for missing children in the United States. Child sex trafficking victims are currently missing and actively being exploited. The first step toward victim recovery is establishing a coordinated reporting system that increases the visibility of child sex trafficking victims and the possibility of identification. Additionally, successful response systems require collaborative, multidisciplinary coordination that includes child welfare, law enforcement, children s advocacy centers and specialized services and shelter placements. This session will address how to enhance our reporting system and collaborative response to CSEC as a state. Target Audience: Child welfare, juvenile justice, community-based providers, parents, legal guardians, court systems, law enforcement. Thursday, October 29, 2015 Session B 1:30 pm 3:00 pm

5 This session will outline victim identification strategies and enhance attendees understanding of the various psychological effects experienced by female survivors of CSEC. Clinical areas to be explored include: the effects of trauma on development, the continuum from victim to aggressor, the sexual abuse continuum, strategies for becoming trustworthy adults to adult wary children and how the Stages of Change are useful in the treatment of resistant youth. Target Audience: Mental Health Professionals and Service Providers Processing of and Screening for Human Trafficking of Unaccompanied Immigrant Children Co-Presenters: Adriana Dinis, Immigration Law Group of Florida, P.A.; Kathlyn Mackovjak, Immigration Law Group of Florida, P.A. Last year the United States witnessed a surge of unaccompanied minors at our borders, some of which have been identified as victims of human trafficking. In this session, attendees will learn who these children are, why they are coming and how immigration processes them. In addition, you learn about screening tools and the protections that are afforded to foreign victims of trafficking as well as available immigration relief. Thursday, October 29, 2015 Session C 3:30 pm 5:00 pm How Civil Lawsuits Can Assist Victims of Trafficking Presenter: Martina Vandenberg, Human Trafficking Pro Bono Legal Center In the United States, trafficking survivors rarely have access to justice. In 2013, federal prosecutors brought just 161 criminal cases against traffickers in the entire country. Trafficked persons have significant rights under U.S. law, but they cannot exercise these rights without competent legal counsel. Pro bono attorneys can change the game, allowing trafficking survivors to participate fully in criminal cases against traffickers, and in launching civil suits against the perpetrators. The training will cover crime victims' rights in federal criminal matters, criminal restitution orders for victims, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and civil litigation against traffickers in federal courts. Participants will gain insight into all remedies available to trafficking survivors in the United States, including many legal rights overlooked for nearly a decade.

6 Human Trafficking of Transgender Children Presenter: Nathan Earl, Ark of Freedom Biases and discrimination severely complicate proper identification of, and provision of care to, Trans-gender victims of human trafficking. This session will address the necessity of singularly addressing the needs of the T when discussing the LGBTQ community, in order to create better strategies for service provision to trans-gender individuals. Services for Foreign Born Victims of Human Trafficking Panelists: Michelle Crum, Florida Attorney General s Office; Stephanie Peterson, Catholic Charities; Maria Jose Fletcher, VIDA Legal Assistance, Inc; Laura Germino, Coalition of Immokalee Workers. Facilitator: Regina Bernadin, International Rescue Committee This session will explore the types of services needed to address the wide range of issues that foreign born victims of human trafficking face, as well as tips on how to navigate state and federal benefits. Target Audience: Service Providers Human Trafficking Investigations and Prosecutions Panelists: Susan French, Special Agent Jesus Martin, Homeland Security Investigations; Sgt. Patrick Guckian, Orlando Police Department; Stacie Harris, Department of Justice. Facilitator: Tyson Elliott, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice This panel will discuss the intricacies of identifying, investigating, corroborating and prosecuting allegations of Human Trafficking. Target Audience: Law Enforcement and Prosecutors DCF/DJJ Breakout
