236.4
. (a) Upon the conviction of a person of a violation of
Section 236.1, the court may, in addition to any other penalty, fine,
or restitution imposed, order the defendant to pay an additional
fine not to exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000). In setting the
amount of the fine, the court shall consider any relevant factors,
including, but not limited to, the seriousness and gravity of the
offense, the circumstances and duration of its commission, the amount
of economic gain the defendant derived as a result of the crime, and
the extent to which the victim suffered losses as a result of the
crime.
(b) Any person who inflicts great bodily injury on a victim in the
commission or attempted commission of a violation of Section 236.1
shall be punished by an additional and consecutive term of
imprisonment in the state prison for 5, 7, or 10 years.
(c) Any person who has previously been convicted of a violation of
any crime specified in Section 236.1 shall receive an additional and
consecutive term of imprisonment in the state prison for 5 years for
each additional conviction on charges separately brought and tried.
(d) Every fine imposed and collected pursuant to Section 236.1 and
this section shall be deposited in the Victim-Witness Assistance
Fund, to be administered by the California Emergency Management
Agency (Cal EMA), to fund grants for services for victims of human
trafficking. Seventy percent of the fines collected and deposited
shall be granted to public agencies and nonprofit corporations that
provide shelter, counseling, or other direct services for trafficked
victims. Thirty percent of the fines collected and deposited shall be
granted to law enforcement and prosecution agencies in the
jurisdiction in which the charges were filed to fund human
trafficking prevention, witness protection, and rescue operations.
