7 Trafficking [S]ex trafficking is often an extreme form of intimate-partner violence in which traffickers are pimps and batterers rolled into one.... Sexual abuse is used by traffickers as both an end and a means: As an end to reap the maximum amount of money possible from the commercial sexual exploitation of their victims and as a means to keep them in such an acute condition of trauma that they cannot mobilize themselves to escape.... Not only do traffickers frequently make their victims their lovers, showering on them all of the trappings of a romantic seduction, in a number of instances they have been known to marry their victims in order to cement their control. - Dorchen A. Leidholdt, Director, Center for Battered Women s Legal Services, Sanctuary for Families, New York, NY 7

11 Case Study: The Greens Ms. Green is granted a TPO against her estranged husband (with whom she has 3 children) based on his increasing erratic and threatening behavior. Ms. Green then seeks a Final Protection Order and Supervised Visitation for Mr. Green. At the hearing Mr. Green s defense attorney states that Petitioner has continued sexual relations with Respondent, and asserts that this shows that Ms. Green is not afraid of Respondent, and that both a Final Order of Protection and an order of Supervised Visitation are unnecessary. 11
12 Case Study: Questions Should Petitioner s sexual activity with Respondent be a factor in your decisions about the requested Final Order of Protection and order for Supervised Visitation? Is there additional information about this sexual relationship that would be helpful in making your decisions? If so, what would you like to know? 12
