United States v. Djoumessi

强迫劳动罪中胁迫与受害人未逃离的认定

538 F.3d 547 (6th Cir. 2008)

美国第六巡回上诉法院3 页原件

第六巡回法院维持了Djoumessi因依18 U.S.C. § 1584强迫一名未成年女性服劳役及窝藏外国人牟利而获的定罪。法院采纳Kozminski案的定义,认为以驱逐出境相威胁可构成法律程序上的胁迫;即使受害人曾有逃跑机会,只要其劳动在部分期间属于非自愿,即足以支持定罪。

所引用的裁判规则

“非自愿劳役”指以人身拘束、人身伤害或通过法律或法律程序进行胁迫相威胁,迫使受害人为被告劳动;以驱逐出境相威胁可构成此类胁迫,且受害人部分期间劳动非自愿即可支持定罪。

适用范围

仅约束第六巡回区联邦法院,属刑事判决,并非USCIS或EOIR的全国性行政先例;USCIS手册仅在强迫劳动相关章节引用其定义。

§ 2255 after the expiration of the one-year statute of limitations set forth in § 2255(f)(1). Djoumessi

claimed that the district court should permit the filing of the motion pursuant to the doctrine of

主张地区法院应依据衡平法上的时效中止原则允许提交该动议

equitable tolling for two reasons: (1) he mistakenly believed that the deadline for his motion was

理由有二:(1) 他误以为其动议的截止日期是

motion is barred by the statute of limitations.

是否滥用裁量权。见Robertson, 624 F.3d at 784。经审慎考虑

1In 2001, Djoumessi was convicted by a jury in the Michigan circuit court of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree child abuse, stemming from the same events that led to the subsequent federal charges. His convictions and sentence of nine to fifteen years of imprisonment were affirmed by the Michigan Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court. See People v. Djoumessi, No. 238631, 2003 WL 22439688 (Mich. Ct. App. Oct. 28, 2003) (unpublished), and 683 N.W.2d 672 (Mich. July 29, 2004) (table), respectively.
