The following excerpt is from People v. N.C. (In re N.C.), 209 Cal.Rptr.3d 357, 4 Cal.App.5th 1235 (Cal. App. 2016):
The Attorney General agrees appellant committed the charged offenses as a result of being a victim of human trafficking, but claimed in her brief that this case is not within the ambit of section 1161 because, as the trial court agreed, appellant was not charged with a commercial sexual act, as defined by Penal Code section 236.1 ; that is, appellant was charged with an offense that does not require sexual conduct in return for money or anything else of value. (People v. Mecano (2013) 214 Cal.App.4th 1061, 1070, 154 Cal.Rptr.3d 519.)
