A man whose conviction for sex trafficking and forced labor was overturned by the 2nd Circuit did not win as favorable a result before the U.S. Supreme Court. The circuit found the mere possibility that a jury attributed conduct to the defendant that occurred before the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protections Act meant a violation of the Constitution's ex post facto clause. The Supreme Court said the 2nd Circuit's approach "cannot be reconciled" with the Court's case law on the "plain error standard."

A man whose conviction for sex trafficking and forced labor was overturned by the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals did not win as favorable a result before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The 2nd Circuit found in 2008 that the mere possibility that a jury attributed conduct to defendant Glenn Marcus that occurred before the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protections Act of 2000 meant a violation of the Constitution’s ex post facto clause, and it ordered a new trial for Marcus.
