John Eisenman, a steadfast and brave father, took actions into his own hands when he discovered the horrifying truth - his own daughter was lured into sexual trafficking by her 19-year-old boyfriend. He tirelessly researched, investigated, and in November 2020, managed to rescue his daughter from her dreadful ordeal. However, his actions culminated in the violent death of her boyfriend who sold her into trafficking - a retaliation that has currently placed him under the viewfinder of the law.


According to a 2018 report from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the percentage of children among trafficking victims has tripled over the past 15 years, and women and girls now form the large majority of trafficking victims - a whopping 71 percent ("Global Report on Trafficking in Persons 2018," UNODC). The heinous crime of trafficking flourishes in the shadows. The very system designed to protect us often fails, forcing individuals like John Eisenman to take extraordinary measures.


John deserves our support. He is a father who did whatever it took to protect his child from an unimaginably horrific situation; the same intent motivates us to request leniency for him. While his actions were extreme, they came from a place of desperation and fear for his child's safety.


This petition aims to highlight the intense circumstances that led to this unfortunate outcome and pleads for a compassionate and just judgement from the law. These are not black and white situations; our justice system must take into account the unique context in which this incident took place. By showing your support for John Eisenman, you are giving voice to countless affected families who suffer in silence.


Join us in urging the legal system for a fair trial for John Eisenman, keeping in view the circumstances that led to the tragic act. We push for a justice that accounts for his desperate need to save his daughter from a horrendous reality. Sign the petition today and stand with John Eisenman in his fight for justice.
