Victim's right to speak with certain persons

Sec. 1. A victim has the right to: (1) speak with a victim advocate or victim service provider during any hospital visit for the purpose of receiving a sexual assault examination; and (2) speak with a victim advocate or victim service provider during the course of the investigation. If a victim advocate or victim service provider is not available, a victim has the right to speak with victims assistance or a social worker. A victim retains these rights even if the victim has waived one (1) or more of these rights in a previous examination or interview. As added by P.L.58-2020, SEC.6.
