Title: Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Procedures | |
Abstract:
This rule will provide sexual assault victims the ability to get a fresh start” through an Expedited Transfer” policy aimed at removing the stigma associated with victimization. It will also allow sexual assault victims to be notified of the protections and support that come with individual legal representation as they navigate the criminal justice process. With this rule Reserve Component and National Guard members who are victims of sexual assault would receive the same SAPR advocacy regardless of when the sexual assault incident occurred, similar to the advocate support afforded their active duty counterparts. The goal of this rule is to ensure victims of sexual assault receive improved victim advocacy support, quality health care service, appropriate and sensitive command involvement, individualized legal support, and a military culture better informed on the issue of sexual assault. This rule establishes the SAFE Helpline as the sole DoD hotline for crisis intervention; establishes requirements for a sexual assault victim safety assessment and the execution of a high-risk team to monitor cases where the sexual assault victim's life and safety may be in jeopardy; and incorporates several requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) relating to sexual assault in the military. |
