The Air Force Special Victims Counsel (SVC) program assists sexual assault victims. Victims have a completely confidential communication, which is protected by attorney-client privilege. All active-duty military members, regardless of who the perpetrator is, are eligible to use the SVC. Adult and minor dependents are also eligible for SVC services when the assault has a military connection. The assigned attorney is with the victim throughout the interviews, hearings and courts-martial to provide them with the legal advice and support they need. For more information, read the American Bar Association article and watch the videos online.
