Defense attorneys in Koms have argued that although he committed domestic violence in the context of volatile romantic partnerships, his behavior was not a sex trafficking.

The defense team said that Ventura and Jane were strong and independent of women who voluntarily participated in sexual offers because they wanted to satisfy the rains.
