interested. I have been reading a lot lately about trafficking of children. The more I read the more
believe SE has been doing this for some time. Bringing dozens of girls on false immigration documents

Did they sell them? Someone in the news show 60 minutes caught on to this scheme 10 years ago and no
one stepped in to stop it "Karim Models founder Brunel, who's currently a partner in MC2, denied

which he also denied. Disgraced former Elite models exec Gerald Marie is also involved with MC2, says

he was filmed saying he hoped to seduce contestants in a modeling contest in which the average age of
participants was 15. He also dated

Unfortunately she has not had time to send the does. I hope she gets them out today. but it may not
happen. There is nothing to really comment on It doesn't surprise me at all that he. despite being a
registered sex offender, is being released early, and it also won't be a surprise when he is released
without the victims being notified. Par for the course with this case. I will try to gel you the does you

I also noticed that Radar is the only one to report that info. Newspapers have a higher standard
than online publications and bloggers etc. and newspapers, generally, have to confirm that the info
is in fact true. However, we may be able to cite Radar as a s0urce....Believe me, I've been making
umpteen calls trying to verify the Info.

USSG, Ch. TWO, Pt. A, Refs & Annos, 18 U.S.C.A.
United States Code Annotated Currentness.
Federal Sentencing Guidelines
Chapter Two. Offense Conduct
Part A. Offenses Against the Person
3. Criminal Sexual Abuse and Offenses Related to Registration as a Sex Offender
2007 Amendments
Chapter Two, Part A, Subpart Three, is amended In the heading by adding at the end
"AND OFFENSES RELATED TO REGISTRATION AS A SEX OFFENDERTM.
Reason for Amendment: This amendment responds to the Adam Walsh Child Protection
and Safety Act of 2006 (the "Adam Walsh Act"), Pub.L. 109-248, which contained a
directive to the Commission, created new sexual offenses, and enhanced penalties for
existing sexual offenses. The amendment implements the directive by creating two new
guidelines, §§ 2A3.5 (Criminal Sexual Abuse and Offenses Related to Registration as a
Sex Offender) and 2A3.6 (Aggravated Offenses Relating to Registration as a Sex
Offender). It further addresses relevant provisions in the Adam Walsh Act by making
changes to Chapter Two, Part A, Subpart 3 (Criminal Sexual Abuse) and Part G (Offenses
Involving Commercial Sex Acts, Sexual Exploitation of Minors, and Obscenity), § 211.2
(Obstruction of Justice), § 301.2 (Groups of Closely Related Counts), § 481.5 (Repeat and
Dangerous Sex Offender Against Minors), § 551.3 (Conditions of Probation), § 501.2
(Term of Supervised Release), § 501.3 (Conditions of Supervised Release) and Appendix
A (Statutory Index).
First, section 206 of the Adam Walsh Act amended IR 11 S.0 27416-). to add a new
mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 30 years for offenses related to the
aggravated sexual abuse of a child under 12 years old, or of a child between 12 and 16
years old if force, threat, or other means was used. In response to the new mandatory
minimum for these offenses, the amendment increases the base offense level at § 2A3.1
(Criminal Sexual Abuse; Attempt to Commit Criminal Sexual Abuse) from level 30 to level
38. The base offense level of 30 has been retained for all other offenses. At least one
specific offense characteristic applied to every conviction under .18 U S.C. 2241(cI
sentenced under § 2A3.1 in fiscal year 2006. Accordingly, the mandatory minimum 360
months' imprisonment is expected to be reached or exceeded In every case with a base
offense level of 38.
The amendment provides a new application note that precludes application of the specific
offense characteristic at § 2A3.1(b)(1) regarding conduct described in JR U.S C. 2241/al
or 011 if the conduct that forms the basis for a conviction under 1,5 U.S.C.. 2241(r). is that
the defendant engaged in conduct described In 18 U.S.C. 2241fal or 04 (force, threat, or
other means). The amendment also precludes application of the specific offense
characteristic for the age of a victim at § 2A3.1(b)(2) if the defendant was convicted
under section 2241(c). The heightened base offense level of 38 takes into account the age
of the victim. These instructions, therefore, avoid unwarranted double counting.
Second, section 207 of the Adam Walsh Act increased the statutory maximum term of
Imprisonment under 18 ll.Ss.C. 2243(b1 from 5 years to 15 years for the sexual abuse of a
person in official detention or under custodial authority. In response to increased penalty,
01283
EFTA01100884
the amendment increases the base offense level from 12 to 14 in § 2A3.3 (Criminal
Sexual Abuse of a Ward or Attempt to Commit Such Acts). The amendment also adds a
new definition of "minor" consistent with how this term is defined elsewhere in the
guidelines manual. In addition, the amendment includes an application note precluding
application of § 3B1.3 (Abuse of Position of Trust or Use of Special Skill) for these
offenses because an abuse of position of trust is assumed in all such cases and, therefore,
is built into the base offense level.
Third, section 206 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new subsection at 18 U S.C. 7244.
Section 2244(a)(5) provides a penalty of any term of years if the sexual conduct would
have violated 1$__U„S.0 2241(c1 had the contact been a sexual act. Section 2241(c)
conduct involves the aggravated sexual abuse of a child under 12 years old or of a child
between 12 and 16 years old if force, threat, or other means was used, as defined in 1./
U.S C 2241O1 and
Prior to the Adam Walsh Act, the penalty for offenses involving
children under 12 years old was "twice that otherwise provided," and the penalty for
sexual contact involving behavior described in 18 LI S.C. 2241 was a statutory maximum
term of imprisonment of 10 years.
The amendment addresses this new offense by increasing the minimum offense level in
the age enhancement In subsection (b)(1) of § 2A3.4 (Abusive Sexual Contact or Attempt
to Commit Abusive Sexual Contact) from level 20 to level 22.
Fourth, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new offense under 18 U.S C
22Sffial for the failure to register as a sex offender. The basic offense carries a statutory
maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years. Section 141 also included a directive to the
Commission that when promulgating guidelines for the offense, to consider, among other
factors, the seriousness of the sex offender's conviction that gave rise to the requirement
to register; relevant further offense conduct during the period for which the defendant
failed to register; and the offender's criminal history.
The amendment creates a new guideline, § 2A3.5 (Failure to Register as a Sex Offender),
to address the directive. The new guideline provides three alternative base offense levels
based on the tiered category of the sex offender: level 16 if the defendant was required
to register as a Tier III offender; level 14 if the defendant was required to register as a
Tier II offender; and level 12 If the defendant was required to register as a Tier I
offender.
The amendment also provides two specific offense characteristics. First, subsection (b)(1)
provides a tiered enhancement to address criminal conduct committed while the defendant
Is in a failure to register status. Specifically, § 2A3.5(b)(1) provides a six-level increase if,
while in a failure to register status, the defendant committed a sex offense against an
adult, a six-level Increase if the defendant committed a felony offense against a minor,
and an eight•level increase If the defendant committed a sex offense against a minor.
Second, § 2A3.5(b)(2) provides a three-level decrease if the defendant voluntarily
corrected the failure to register or voluntarily attempted to register but was prevented
from registering by uncontrollable circumstances, and the defendant did nut contribute to
the creation of those drcumstances. The reduction covers cases in which (1) the
defendant either does not attempt to register until after the relevant registration period
has expired but subsequently successfully registers, thereby correcting the failure to
register status, or (2) the defendant, either before or after the registration period has
expired, attempted to register but circumstances beyond the defendant's control
prevented the defendant from successfully registering. An application note specifies that
the voluntary attempt to register or to correct the failure to register must have occurred
prior to the time the defendant knew or reasonably should have known a jurisdiction had
detected the failure to register. The application note also provides that the reduction does
not apply if the enhancement for committing one of the enumerated offenses in §
2A3.5(b)(1) applies.
01284
EFTA01100885
Additionally, the amendment adds § 2A3.5 to the list of offenses that are considered
groupable under § 3D1.2(d) because the failure to register offense is an ongoing and
continuous offense.
Fifth, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act created two new aggravated offenses relating to
the registration as a sex offender. Section 141 of the Act created 18 u S.c. ?250(r],
which carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 5 years and a statutory
maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years if a defendant commits a crime of violence
while in a failure to register status, with the sentence to be consecutive to the
punishment provided for the failure to register. Section 702 of the Adam Walsh Act
created a new offense at 1811 S C 2260A that prohibits the commission of various
enumerated offenses while in a failure to register status. 'I he penalty for this offense is a
mandatory term of imprisonment of 10 years to be imposed consecutively to the
underlying offense.
The amendment creates a new guideline at § 2A3.6 (Aggravated Offenses Relating to
Registration as a Sex Offender) to address these new offenses. The new guideline
provides that for offenses under section 2250(c), the guideline sentence is the minimum
term of imprisonment required by statute, and for offenses under section 2260A, the
guideline sentence Is the term of imprisonment required by statute. Chapters Three and
Four are not to apply. This is consistent with how the guidelines treat other offenses that
carry both a specified term of imprisonment and a requirement that such term be
Imposed consecutively. See §§ 3D1.1 (Procedure for Determining Offense Level on
Multiple Counts) and 5G1.2 (Sentencing on Multiple Counts of Conviction).
The guideline includes en application note that provides an upward departure stating that
a sentence above the minimum term required by section 2250(c) is an upward departure
from the guideline sentence. An upward departure may be warranted, for example, in a
case involving a sex offense committed against a minor or if the offense resulted in
serious bodily injury to a minor.
Sixth, section 208 of the Adam Walsh Act added a new mandatory minimum term of
imprisonment of 15 years under 18 it S.C. 1591(51(11 for sex trafficking of an adult by
force, fraud, or coercion. In response, the amendment provides a new base offense level
of 34 in § 2G1.1 (Promoting a Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct with an
Individual Other than a Minor) if the offense of conviction is 18 U.S.C. 1591.0)(1), but
retains a base offense level of 14 for all other offenses. In addition, the amendment limits
application of the specific offense characteristic at § 2G1.1(b)(1) that applies if the
offense involved fraud or coercion only to those offenses receiving a base offense level of
14. Offenses under 18 U S.C. 1591(b)(11 necessarily involve fraud and coercion and,
therefore, such conduct is built into the heightened base offense level of 34. This
limitation thus avoids unwarranted double counting.
Seventh, section 208 of the Adam Walsh Act added a new mandatory minimum term of
imprisonment of 15 years under J8 LI.S.0 15911b1(1) for sex trafficking of children under
14 years of age and added a new mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years
and increased the statutory maximum term of imprisonment from 40 years to life under
JS U S C. 1591161(21 for sex trafficking of children who had attained the age of 14 years
but had not attained the age of 18 years. Further, the Adam Walsh Act increased the
mandatory minimum term of imprisonment from S years to 10 years and increased the
statutory maximum term of imprisonment from 30 years to life under both 18 11.S C
74771bl for persuading or enticing any person who has not attained the age of 18 years
to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with
a criminal offense, and IR U,SC 2473Cal, for transporting a person who has not attained
the age of 18 years in interstate or foreign commerce, with the intent that the person
engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with
01285
EFTA01100886
a criminal offense.
in response, the amendment provides alternative base offense levels in § 2G1.3
(Promoting a Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct with a Minor;
Transportation of Minors to Engage in a Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct;
Travel to Engage in Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct with a Minor; Sex
Trafficking of Children; Use of Interstate Facilities to Transport Information about a Minor)
based on the statute of conviction and the conduct described in that conviction. For
convictions under j8 U S.C. 1591f tiff 11, the base offense level is 34. For convictions
under 1$ U.S.0 1591(h)(71, the base offense level Is 30.
The amendment further provides a base offense level of 28 for convictions under la
U.S.C. 2427(b). and 2471(a1. The two-level enhancement for the use of a computer at §
261.3(b)(3) applied to 95 percent of offenders convicted under 1ILU.S.c,_2422(b1 and
sentenced under § 2G1.3 in fiscal year 2006. In addition, the two-level enhancement for
the offense involving a sexual act or sexual contact at § 2G1.3(b)(4) applied to 95 percent
of offenders convicted under 18 U S.C. 2473/al and sentenced under this guideline In
fiscal year 2006. With application of either enhancement, the mandatory minimum term of
imprisonment of 120 months will be reached in the majority of convictions under 111
U.S C. 7472(h1. and 24231a) before application of other guidelines adjustments.
Further, the amendment addresses the interaction of two specific offense characteristics
with the alternative base offense levels. First, every conviction under 18 U S.0 1591
necessarily Involves a commercial sex act. With the base offense levels being determined
based on the statute of conviction, the amendment clarifies that § 2G1.3(b)(4)(B), which
provides a two-level enhancement if the offense involved a commercial sex act, does not
apply if the defendant Is convicted under 18 U.S.C. 1591 Second, the amendment
precludes application of the age enhancement in § 2G1.3(b)(5) if the base offense level is
determined under subsection (a)(1) of § 2G1.3 for a conviction under louse-
1591(13)(1). The base offense level provided by subsection (a)(1) of § 2G1.3 takes into
account the age of the victim and, therefore, limitations on application of subsections
(b)(4)(8) and (b)(5) of § 2G1.3 avoid unwarranted double counting.
Eighth, section 503 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new section, 18 U.S.0
7S7A
adopting new recordkeeping obligations for the production of any book, magazine,
periodical, film, videotape, or digital Image that contains a visual depiction of simulated
sexually explicit conduct. Section 2257A has a statutory maximum of one year
imprisonment for the failure to comply with the recordkeeping requirements and a
statutory maximum term of imprisonment of five years if the violation was to conceal a
substantive offense that involves either causing a minor to engage in sexually explicit
conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction or trafficking in material involving
the sexual exploitation of a minor. The new offense is similar to 18 U S C 7757 which Is
referenced to § 2G2.5 (Recordkeeping Offenses Involving the Production of Sexually
Explicit Materials; Failure to Provide Required Marks in Commercial Electronic Mail).
Accordingly, the amendment refers the new offense to § 2G2.5.
Ninth, section 701 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new offense in 18 ll S.C. 2257A(01
that prohibits engaging in child exploitation enterprises, defined as violating is ti s r
1,591, 1701 (if the victim is a minor), chapter 109A (Involving a minor victim), chapter
110 (except forja 11 S C. 2257 and .7757A), or chapter 117 (involving a minor victim), as
part of a series of felony violations constituting three or more separate incidents and
Involving more than one victim, and committing those offenses in concert with three or
more other people. The statute provides a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of
20 years.
The amendment creates a new guideline at § 2G2.6 (Child Exploitation Enterprises) to
cover this new offense. The guideline provides a base offense level of 35 and four specific
01286
EFTA01100887
offense characteristics. The Commission anticipates these offenses typically will involve
conduct encompassing at least one of the specific offense characteristics, resulting in an
offense level of at least level 37. Thus, the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of
740 months typically is expected to be reached or exceeded, before application of other
guideline adjustments.
Tenth, section 206 of the Adam Walsh Act increased the statutory maximum term of
imprisonment from 4 years to 10 years under 18 Q S.C. 2,528(b1 for knowingly using a
misleading domain name with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material harmful
to minors on the Internet. In addition, section 703 of the Act created a new section,11
7752C, that carries a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years for
knowingly embedding words or digital images into the source code of a Web site with the
intent to deceive a person into viewing material constituting obscenity. Section 2252C(b)
carries a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years for knowingly embedding
words or digital images into the source code of a Web site with the Intent to deceive a
minor Into viewing material harmful to minors on the Internet.
In response to the new offense, the amendment expands the scope of subsection (b)(2)
el § 2G3.1 (Importing, Mailing, or Transporting Obscene Matter; Transferring Obscene
Matter to a Minor; Misleading Domain Names) by adding to this enhancement "embedded
words or digital images into the source code on a Web site."
Eleventh, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act added a new provision in JR USX. 1001
that carries a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 8 years for falsifying or
covering up by any scheme or making materially false or fraudulent statements or making
or using any false writings or documents that relate to offenses under chapters 109A,
109B, 110, and 117, and under section 1591 of chapter 77. The amendment adds a new
specific offense characteristic at subsection (b)(1)(A) of § 211.2 (Obstruction of Justice)
enhancing the offense level by four levels if the defendant was convicted under HI
1001 and the statutory maximum term of 8 years' imprisonment applies because the
matter relates to sex offenses. The amendment also added language to Application Note 4
stating an upward departure may be warranted under the guideline in a case involving a
particularly serious sex offense.
Twelfth vrtinn 70fLollheSdamWalabAstaddeLLSAISCalheistsLoffenses

amendment adds 18 11,1.C. 1591 to the list of instant offenses of convictions that are
covered sex crimes under 6 4B1 S
Thirteenth, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act amended 18 U.S.0 3563. and 311,1. The
amendment adds a new subdivision to (a)(9) of § SB1.3 and to (a)(7) of § 5D1.3 to
require a defendant to comply with the new registration requirements provided by the
Adam Walsh Act. The amendment also modifies the language In §§ SB1.3(a)(9) and
5D1.3(a)(7) relating to defendants convicted of a sexual offense described in 18 II sr
no4zfrusi. Not all states have implemented the new requirements, continuing to register
sex offenders pursuant to the sex offender registry in place prior to July 27, 2006, the
date of enactment of the Adam Walsh Act. Thus, It is necessary to maintain the language
in the guidelines providing for conditions of probation and supervised release for those
offenders.
Fourteenth, section 141 of the Act amended 18 11.4.0 35/33(k1 which provides that the
authorized term of supervised release for any offense under enumerated sex offenses Is
any term of years or life. In response, the amendment adds offenses under chanter 10%1
and sections j2 01 and 1591 of title 111 United Statesinrie or 1R U s r 1201 and 1511
to the definition of sex offense under § 501.2(b)(2) for which the length of the term of
supervised release shall be not less than the minimum term of years specified for the
offense and may be up to life.
01287
EFTA01100888
Finally, the amendment provides a definition of "minor" in relevant guidelines that is
consistent with how this term is defined elsewhere in the guidelines. Outdated background
commentary also is deleted by this amendment. The effective date of this amendment
is November 1, 2007.

Please read this important. I think you can offer a trafficked victim protection, asylum and an incentive
for coining forward on the case. Ask your clients if they know of any victims who were foreign so they
can tell them about this and assuage their fears! This is a break through for some of the girls, because
they'll be able to bring their families into the US on these visas.
According to Acosta some 7000 visas are issued annually and the last time he checked only 1500 -2000
apply annually. That means that the word is NOT out about the visas (on purpose may I add and
furthermore, that there is ZERO effort on the part of law enforcement to get it out, fear of having visa
abused!!!!
More importantly,How are you feeling? Hope you're healing quickly!!!
Congress passes Violence Against Women Act of 2000
Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 14, No. 6, October 19, 2000
Passed by Congress on Oct. I 1, 2000, the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000
(11.R. 3244) includes the Violence Against Women Act of 2000 (VAWA 2000), which expands and
improves on the protections for battered spouses and children that were originally enacted in the
Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA 1994).
Most notably, VAWA 2000 eliminates the ""extreme hardship"" requirement for self-petitioners and
allows all self-petitioners to adjust their status in the United States. The act also creates two new
nonimmigrant visas for victims of trafficking and for victims of certain serious crimes, including victims
of crimes against women (see ""Congress Creates New ""T"" and ""U"" Visas for Victims of
Exploitation ""). Individuals granted these visas may subsequently adjust to permanent resident status.
The bill passed both houses by enormous margins (371-1 in the House and 95-0 in the Senate), and
President Bill Clinton has promised to swiftly sign it.
VA WA 1994. The original VAWA included provisions to address the particular problems faced by
battered immigrant women and children. Under pre-VAWA immigration law, immigrant spouses and
children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs) were dependent on the citizen or LPR to
petition to immigrate them, and this dependency left them particularly subject to abuse on the part of
that relative. The VAWA created a procedure whereby abused spouses and their children or abused
children and their parents can ""self-petition"" to obtain LPR status without the cooperation of the
abusing relative. The VAWA also enabled battered spouses and children to obtain suspension of
deportation or cancellation of removal if they were present in the U.S. for at least three years rather than

EFTA01100890
S
hbailcontemilhil
the seven years normally required for suspension or ten years for cancellation.
Obstacles based on family/marital status removed. VAWA 2000 removes a number of obstacles that
battered spouses and children have encountered in attempting to use provisions of the VAWA intended
to help them. For example, a battered spouse whose marriage is defective because her husband failed to
tell her that he was already married is not eligible to immigrate under VAWA 1994. VAWA 2000
corrects this problem by allowing individuals who believed that they were married to a U.S. citizen or
! PR to self-petition. VAWA 2000 also allows individuals to self-petition even though they have been
divorced from the citizen or LPR, provided that the marriage terminated within the past two years and a
connection between the termination of the marriage and the abuse of the immigrant can be shown. These
changes also apply to VAWA suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal. Moreover,
individuals may self-petition even if the citizen relative has died, provided they petition within two years
of the death.
No need to leave U.S. to apply for VAWA visa. The new law allows all VAWA self-petitioncrs to apply
for adjustment of status in the United States, regardless of whether they were inspected when they
entered the country or whether they subsequently maintained lawful status.
""Extreme Hardship" and other requirements for VAWA self-petitioners. The act also eliminates the
disparate treatment of self-petitioners who, under prior law, had to meet certain requirements not applied
to regular family immigrant visa applicants. Most significantly, self-petitioners no longer need to show
that their deportation would cause "extreme hardship."" This eliminates an enormous evidentiary hurdle
from the self-petition procedure. The law also allows abused spouses and children of U.S. employees
and military personnel living abroad to self-petition.
Under the new law, if the U.S. citizen or LPR parent or spouse subsequently loses that status for reasons
related to their abusive conduct, the loss does not affect the abused immigrant's eligibility to immigrate
if they petition within two years. Moreover, abused immigrants with approved self-petitions may
remarry without causing the petition to he revoked.
Good moral character. Self-petitioners under the new law still must show that they have ""good moral
character." However, the new law partially exempts them from the bar on establishing good moral
character outlined in 1NA section 101(0. Under that provision, immigrants cannot establish good moral
character if they have committed or been convicted of certain criminal acts. The new law removes the
bar if the act constitutes a ground of admissibility or &portability that is waivable, and the act was
connected to the abuse the applicant suffered. This rule also applies to applicants for VAWA suspension
or cancellation.
Children who ""age out."" Under the act, children who have filed a self-petition or are derivative
beneficiaries of a parent's petition 110 longer ""age out,"" or become subject to normal family visa rules,
when they become 21 years old. instead, they are treated as self-petitioners under the appropriate
category (as unmarried sons or daughters of U.S. citizens or LPRs, or married sons or daughters of
citizens), with the parent's priority date.

EFTA01100891
Relaxed continuous physical presence requirement. The act allows applicants for VAWA cancellation of
removal to show that they have three years' continuous physical presence in the U.S., despite a single
absence longer than 90 clays or cumulative absences exceeding 180 days, if there is a connection
between the absence and the abuse perpetrated against the applicant. The act also eliminates application
of the ""stop-time role"" (under which service of a Notice to Appear stops the accrual of continuous
physical presence) in VAWA cancellation and suspension cases. And it requires the attorney general to
parole the children or parents of individuals who are granted VAWA suspension or cancellation.
Motions to reopen. The act allows individuals who become eligible for VAWA suspension or
cancellation because of the changes made by the new law to move to reopen their proceedings. It also
amends the INA's time limitations on motions to reopen, allowing individuals to file a motion to reopen
to apply for VAWA cancellation within one year of the entry of a final order. The attorney general may
also waive the one-year limitation in cases of extraordinary circumstances or extreme hardship to a
child.
New waivers of grounds of inadmissibility and deportability. The act establishes waivers of certain
grounds of inadmissibility for abused immigrants. There is a waiver of the ground of inadmissibility for
reentering the U.S. without inspection following a one-year period of unlawful presence or after having
been ordered removed. This waiver is available to individuals who can establish a connection between
the abuse they suffered and their departure or reentry.
There is also a waiver of the ground of deportability for having a conviction for a crime of domestic
violence or for violation of a protective order, if the abused immigrant can show that she was not the
primary perpetrator of violence in the relationship. She must also show that she was acting in self-
defense or that the crime did not result in serious bodily injury and was connected to the abuse that the
immigrant suffered.
The act makes available to abused immigrants the INA's waivers for certain criminal grounds (§ 212(h)),
fraud or misrepresentation (§ 212(0), and health grounds (§ 212(g)). Expanding the availability of these
waivers was considered necessary because they had been limited to spouses of U.S. citizens or LPRs.
Abused immigrants may no longer have such a relationship.
Public charge. The act amends the public charge ground of exclusion to provide that cash or other
benefits received pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1641(c) (which permits VAWA beneficiaries to obtain
cash and other government assistance in connection with their escape from domestic violence) may not
be considered in public charge determinations.
Changes to Cuban Adjustment Act, NACARA, and }IRIFA. The act also amends the Cuban Adjustment
Act, the adjustment of status provisions of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act
(NACARA), and the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act (HRIFA). These amendments allow
abused spouses or children who are dependents of individuals eligible for relief under these laws to
adjust their status, without having to reside with the principal or maintain the relationship. Under the act,
persons who become LPRs through VAWA may also apply for naturalization after they have resided in
the U.S. in LPR status for three years.

Brad,
We have no way of getting the members or the banned members lists.
However, I spoke to Donald Trump today - nothing like getting it from the horse's mouth!
Anyway, he said Epstein is not a member and would not confirm or deny that he ever was a member. He
would not comment at all (which is very rare for him) on whether or not Epstein got booted from the
club or if he had recruited girls from Mar-A-Lago.
Sorry I couldn't be more help. I really thought that he would say something. He usually does comment
for all of our stories. That's why this was quite unusual.
If you get any info, please pass it on....like if any info comes out during tiepin of anything related to
Epstein getting booted from the club or about him recruiting girls from there. You know I will run with
it!

Thank you. We have our answer then. All the pieces are public record - Complaint riled by Josephsberg
regarding Epstein being at the club with Ghislaine Maxwell and taking a 15 year old home with him, a
newspaper article that indicated he was banned for similar conduct (don't remember who published it but
I read it a few months back), and a no comment from Trump. Ile's banned. Don't worry, we will get the
official word. We are setting many depositions soon and certain people that will be set will know that
information. 1 will keep you informed. Good work. I'll be in touch.
