A BILL HELPING VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE HAS BEEN SIGNED BY GOVERNOR MARTINEZ. RACHAEL’S LAW ALLOWS JUDGES TO GRANT RESTRAINING ORDERS WITHOUT REQUIRING THE VICTIM TO BE IN THE COURTROOM.
REPRESENTATIVE DAVID GALLEGOS OF EUNICE SPONSORED THE BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE. HE SAYS THE VICTIM’S ATTORNEY CAN REPRESENT THEM IN COURT SO THE VICTIM DOESN’T HAVE TO RELIVE THE TRAUMA.
