In the scenario described, an escort willingly works with an agency, feels comfortable with the environment, and has no issue contributing money to the agency and location. This situation would not typically be considered harboring in the context of human trafficking because it lacks key elements that define human trafficking and harboring, such as force, fraud, or coercion.Here’s why this would generally not be considered harboring in human trafficking:1. No Coercion or Force: Harboring in human trafficking usually involves a situation where the victim is being concealed, held against their will, or otherwise controlled. If the escort is choosing to work with the agency of her own free will, without any threats, force, or pressure to remain there, this does not meet the standard of coercion associated with trafficking.2. Voluntary Participation: If she is willingly participating in the activities, contributing money to the agency, and feels comfortable with the arrangement, she is not being held or concealed against her will. The voluntary nature of her actions means that there is no need to “harbor” her in the sense that is relevant to trafficking.3. Mutual Agreement with the Agency: Human trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through deceit, manipulation, or pressure to work against their will. In this case, if the escort willingly entered into an agreement with the agency and can leave whenever she wants, it is more indicative of a business arrangement than of trafficking or harboring.For harboring to be relevant in human trafficking, there must be a victim who is being kept in a situation of exploitation without their full consent, typically through some form of coercion or manipulation. In this scenario, the escort’s consent and willingness to remain make it inconsistent with the definition of being “harbored” in a trafficking context.____________________________________Here are a few examples of how the complainants in the Juteah Downey case expressed how they were NOT harboured or forced to work at the agency location.⬇️Page 14- ( 488) “Nobody was stuck, I believe that truly” (PC)Page 58- (1723) “I never had issues with him trying to confine me at the town house” ( ST)Page 61- “I never encounted anyone like being forced to stay there” (ST)Page 66- “When the cops came I wanted them to know that I felt we were doing nothing wrong and we wanted to be there, I wanted them to see that we were at a clean a safe spot” (ST)Page 70- ” Moved to uplands, I was exhausted.
