GERMAN DE JESUS VENTURA - IS TRAFFICKING A CRIME OF VIOLENCE?
Dear Judge Davis: I just read this article - http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/01/u-s-judge-rules-sexual-trafficking-is-not-a-violent-crime.html and was shocked at your ruling. So shocked I started to look up your email address in order to write you about my experience on this issue for future cases you might hear in your court.

You if anyone should know how sometimes the fear a victim experiences can be as strongly felt as it gets - all without the predator laying one finger of them. I would ask you to think back to the day of the "Ole Miss Riot of 1962" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Miss_riot_of_1962 and tell me that James Meredith might not been afraid for his life to the core of his being - despite the fact no one had even pointed a gun at him. Thus being an African American male, I'd think you'd understand
