A person convicted of a qualifying offense may file a motion to vacate the judgment if the person’s participation in the offense was a direct result of being a victim of human trafficking. A motion filed under this section shall: be in writing; be made within a reasonable period of time after the conviction; describe the evidence and include copies of any documents showing that the movant is entitled to relief under this section; be served on the State’s Attorney in the jurisdiction where the conviction for the qualifying offense occurred; and if the qualifying offense occurred within 5 years before the filing of the motion, be mailed to any victim or victim’s representative at the victim’s or victim’s representative’s last known address. The court may grant a motion filed under this section on a finding based on a preponderance of the evidence that the movant committed the qualifying offense as a direct result of being a victim of human trafficking. When making a finding under this subsection, the court shall consider: the length of time between the offense and the trafficking of the movant; the dynamics of the relationship between the movant and the person committing trafficking against the movant; and any other relevant evidence. The court may grant a motion filed under this section without a hearing if: the State’s Attorney consents to the motion; no objection to the relief requested has been filed by a victim or victim’s representative; and at least 60 days have elapsed since notice and service under subsection (c) of this section. The court may dismiss a motion filed under this section without a hearing if the court finds that: the motion fails to assert grounds on which relief may be granted; the motion offers no additional evidence beyond that which has previously been considered by the court; or the movant acted fraudulently or in bad faith in filing the motion. If a court grants a motion filed under this section, the court shall vacate the conviction. The court shall state the reasons for its ruling on the record. A movant in a proceeding under this section has the burden of proof. A conviction that has been vacated under this section may not be considered a conviction for any purpose.
