Criminal Procedure - Protection of Identity of Victim of Sexual Assault or Stalking

Summary

The bill bars courts and parties from sharing court filings that contain a victim's name, address, phone number, or other identifying details in sexual assault or stalking cases, unless a judge determines there is good cause to release them. Victims or their representatives can request that existing records be redacted. The goal is to protect victim privacy while still allowing necessary access for the justice process.
