`
`
`
`1
`
`I.
`
`THE GOVERNMENT HAS IDENTIFIED WITNESSES AND EXHIBITS
`
`2
`
`3
`
`BARRED BY THE COURT’S PRIOR ORDER.
`
`In its May 4, 2020 Order denying Defendant John Brunst’s Motion to Dismiss
`
`4
`
`Indictment for Failure to Allege the Necessary Elements of the Travel Act, the Court held
`
`5
`
`that:
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`Defendants’ suggestion that the SI improperly indicts a ‘boundless
`conspiracy to facilitate prostitution in general,’ (Reply at 4), however,
`mischaracterizes the charges against them. Such a claim is simply untrue.
`They were not indicted for facilitating the amorphous notion of
`‘prostitution.’ They were indicted for facilitating (via publishing ads) on
`fifty distinct occasions where prostitutes, prostitution-related businesses, or
`other groups were involved in the business of prostitution. (SI ¶ 201.)
`
`10
`
`Dkt. 946 at 13 (emphasis added).
`
`11
`
`That is the law of the case. Dkt. 1524 at 4 n.2 (Order Setting Final Pretrial
`
`12
`
`Conference). This case is about whether Defendants facilitated business enterprises
`
`13
`
`engaged in prostitution in violation of state law when Backpage.com published one or
`
`14
`
`more of the fifty charged adult-oriented ads – not about the millions of other adult-oriented
`
`15
`
`ads that Backpage.com published over the years. Dkt. 946 at 13. Evidence is therefore
`
`16
`
`relevant only if it concerns one of the fifty charged ads. To avoid another mistrial,
`
`17
`
`Defendants seek an order to make clear that evidence of alleged strategies to increase
`
`18
`
`purported “prostitution” ads on the site not specific to these fifty ads is irrelevant, because
`
`19
`
`those alleged practices ended long before any of the fifty charged ads was posted.
`
`20
`
`Defendants anticipate the Government will attempt to introduce evidence unrelated
`
`21
`
`to the fifty charged ads involving (1) ad moderation (allowing moderators to modify the
`
`22
`
`wording of ads and then allowing the ads to run); (2) Backpage’s alleged “reciprocal”
`
`23
`
`advertising/link program with The Erotic Review (TER) (a different website with adult
`
`24
`
`content); and (3) content “aggregation,” alleged to be the provision of free ads “in an
`
`25
`
`attempt to secure future advertising revenues.” Dkt. 230 (Superseding Indictment) at
`
`26
`
`¶¶ 10-11, 34. Under the Court’s Order, such evidence is inadmissible because each of
`
`27
`
`those alleged practices ended well before September 10, 2013—the date that the first
`
`28
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Case 2:18-cr-00422-DJH Document 1591 Filed 06/08/23 Page 4 of 13
`
`
`
`1
`
`charged ad was published. Dkt. 230 at 201 (Count 2).1
`
`2
`
`First, Backpage.com prohibited its moderators from modifying the wording of ads
`
`3
`
`by the fall of 2012 – roughly a year before the first charged ad was published – a fact
`
`4
`
`admitted by several former Backpage.com moderators interviewed by the Government.
`
`5
`
`Second, as to alleged reciprocal links with TER, Backpage had ended its relationship with
`
`6
`
`TER and banned any reference to TER in its ads (including any “review ID” numbers tied
`
`7
`
`to TER) by early 2011 – about two-and-a-half years before the first charged ad was
`
`8
`
`published. Exh. A (February 18, 2011 email from Defendant Andrew Padilla). Third, as
`
`9
`
`to aggregation, the indictment references a November 2008 internal Backpage email
`
`10
`
`regarding “aggregation efforts in Dallas”—nearly five years before the first charged ad
`
`11
`
`was published. Dkt. 230 at ¶ 43. Although the indictment makes a single reference to an
`
`12
`
`October 2013 email from Carl Ferrer (Backpage’s CEO) to Defendant Scott Spear
`
`13
`
`regarding a “plan to hire . . . Content creators” in the Netherlands (where prostitution is
`
`14
`
`legal), there is no allegation that this plan was ever executed or that it had anything to do
`
`15
`
`with ads published in the United States, let alone any of the fifty charged ads. Id. at ¶ 44.
`
`16
`
`Critically, the Government does not allege, and could not allege, that any of the
`
`17
`
`fifty charged ads were the product of content aggregation, a “reciprocal” advertising/link
`
`18
`
`program with TER, or had their wording modified by a Backpage.com moderator.
`
`19
`
`Therefore, no evidence of any of these alleged practices should be admitted.
`
`20
`
`The Government may claim that those discontinued practices are relevant to the
`
`21
`
`conspiracy charge. But as the Court has already held, that charge is not “boundless”; it is
`
`22
`
`wedded and limited to the fifty charged ads. Dkt. 946 at 13; see also Dkt. 1444 at 8
`
`23
`
`(implying that any conspiracy is logically bound by the dates of the fifty charged ads, from
`
`24
`
`2013 to 2018). Nor are those practices relevant background information regarding the
`
`25
`
`26
`
`27
`
`28
`
`
`
`
`1 The first charged ad was published on September 10, 2013, ten of the charged ads were
`published in 2014, fourteen of the charged ads were published in 2015, nine of the charged
`ads were published in 2016, eight of the charged ads were published in 2017, and eight of
`the charged ads were published in 2018.

`
`
`
`1
`
`Backpage.com website because, as this Court has held, “this case is not about Backpage . .
`
`2
`
`. . This case is about these individuals and whether they had specific knowledge of these
`
`3
`
`ads as facilitating illegal activity.” Exh. B (December 4, 2020 Hr’g. Tr. at 38).
`
`4
`
`In addition to being barred under Rule 401 as irrelevant, evidence about these
`
`5
`
`discontinued practices should be barred under Rule 403, as the prejudice and confusion
`
`6
`
`resulting from the presentation of evidence about those practices would lead jurors to
`
`7
`
`conclude that such evidence is connected to the fifty charged ads.
`
`8
`
`II.
`
`THE COURT PREVIOUSLY DEALT WITH A RELATED ISSUE.
`
`9
`
`In denying the Government’s Motion in Limine to Admit Evidence as Non-Hearsay
`
`10
`
`Statements (Dkt. 1162), the Court previously ruled that the Government would need to
`
`11
`
`“establish the foundation” necessary to admit unspecified statements from William “Dollar
`
`12
`
`Bill” Mersey (an alleged “super affiliate” of Backpage) and David Elms (who ran TER).
`
`13
`
`Dkt. 230 at 60; Dkt. 929 at 7-10. The instant motion seeks to preclude the admission of a
`
`14
`
`broader set of evidence regarding earlier practices the Government alleges were intended
`
`15
`
`to promote “prostitution” ads on the Backpage.com website, an approach supported by the
`
`16
`
`Court’s prior ruling as to statements made by Mersey and Elms.
`
`17
`
`III. PROPOSED ORDER
`
`18
`
`Defendants seek an order that precludes the Government from introducing evidence
`
`19
`
`regarding or making reference to (1) ad moderation; (2) a “reciprocal” advertising/link
`
`20
`
`program with The Erotic Review; and (3) content aggregation, as these alleged practices
`
`21
`
`are untethered to the fifty charged ads.2

`
`And I think one of the key things in my reason for
`
`denying the recusal is that this case is not about Backpage.
`
`Backpage was prosecuted in a separate case, entered a plea in a
`
`separate case.
`
`This case is about these individual defendants and
`
`whether they had specific knowledge of these ads as
`
`facilitating illegal activity. And that is why any reference
`
`to the fact that this type of activity occurs on Backpage and
`
`other social media doesn't have the strength it would had my
`
`husband said something particular about these defendants, which
`
`he has not.
`
`He has also not -- I think the defense motion says
`
`that he's made public statements about the people, which he has
`
`not. The entities, yes, he's commented that Backpage -- that
`
`human trafficking has occurred on Backpage along with
`
`Craigslist, Facebook, other social media. And you also
`
`mentioned issues in this case. He has not commented on this
`
`case or any of the issues in this case.
`
`MR. LINCENBERG: Your Honor, this is Gary Lincenberg.
`
`I do not want to interrupt, but I would like to correct one
`
`thing that the Court may have mistakenly just stated.
`
`THE COURT: What's that?
`
`MR. LINCENBERG: I believe I heard the Court state
`
`that we had this key Attorney General letter in discovery, and
`
`that's not correct, I believe, to the best of my knowledge.
