Griffith Introduces Sexual Assault Victims Protection Act

Statement

"We have to do better for sexual assault victims. The bill I have introduced, the Sexual Assault Victims Protection Act, will help. It would establish a task force to identify barriers that now block access to professional assistance, help states improve their ability to gather evidence, and require the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to publicize resources and best practices for responding to sexual assault. By improving the ability to respond to these heinous crimes, we can better support those who suffer from sexual assault."
