Q

What is an unrestricted report? (Sexual Assault)

A

The victim can disclose, without requesting confidentiality or restricted reporting, that he/she is a victim of a sexual assault to a SARC, VA, HCP, Command authorities, or others. The victim will have access to medical treatment and counseling, support, and consideration for protection and expedited (permanent or temporary) transfers. If a victim chooses to file an unrestricted report, the SARC, VA, HCP, chain of command, and law enforcement, will be notified that the crime occurred. An official investigation will be triggered, and the alleged offender may be prosecuted. Must be referred to CID, regardless of severity. Once a victim files an unrestricted report, he/she cannot change to a restricted report. If at any time a victim declines to participate in an investigation or prosecution, that decision should be honored by commanders, investigators, and all other personnel involved in the case.
