What the document says
“in determining whether the movant is a victim of trafficking, the court-- ``(i) shall consider an affidavit or sworn testimony of an anti-human trafficking service provider or clinician; and”
In deciding whether the movant is a victim of trafficking, the court is required to consider an affidavit or sworn testimony from an anti-human trafficking service provider or a clinician. It may also consider any other supporting evidence it determines is of sufficient credibility and probative value, and the section names one example: sworn testimony from a law enforcement officer detailing the role of the movant in coercing other victims of trafficking into committing criminal offenses.
What the document actually says
“in determining whether the movant is a victim of trafficking, the court-- ``(i) shall consider an affidavit or sworn testimony of an anti-human trafficking service provider or clinician; and”

What this is about
The judge can also look at other proof. That includes sworn words from a police officer. The judge decides which proof is worth trusting.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
