Eight of the more than 1, registered sex offenders listed in Contra Costa County reside in the town of Danville, according to public information listed on the California Department of Justice's Megan's Law website. You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who's living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.
MARTINEZ — A woman who was convicted in a nationwide human trafficking ring centered in Danville was given a year suspended sentence Wednesday, in stark contrast to a life term handed down to her co-defendant earlier this month. As part of the terms of her sentence, Avisa Lavassani was ordered to stay away from her victims and co-defendants, perform hours of community service, attend therapy, stay employed and other conditions.
She could be imprisoned if she violates the conditions. Lavassani was convicted last year of conspiring with James Vernon Joseph Jr. Joseph was sentenced two weeks ago to years to life in an emotional, lively hearing where a woman who had spent years telling her story of being forced into sex trafficking by Joseph offered a heartfelt victim impact statement. Joseph called her and other witnesses liars, and then Lavassani made the surprise move of taking the stand, admitting her guilt and saying that she too had been victimized by Joseph.
At the heart of the matter is a question posed in the wake of California changing its laws with respect to the sex trade: where should authorities draw the line between victim and co-conspirator? In large trafficking rings, pimps typically single out a woman to help manage day-to-day operations.
On the other hand, women and girls who are victimized in trafficking rings often inadvertently commit crimes and open themselves to criminal prosecution.
In recent years, local authorities have turned away from old law enforcement models that focused more on arresting prostitutes, and turned their attention to prosecuting pimps and traffickers. But there were mitigating factors as well.
Lavassani met Joseph when she was 18, and stayed with him for most of her adult life. She testified earlier this month that he was violent with her on more than one occasion.
She said she was afraid to leave over the years because he knew where her family lived, and had threatened to hurt them if she took off. News Crime and Public Safety.
