Protection for Victims of Sexual Assault by Healthcare Providers

Governor Healey Expands Protections For Victims of Sexual Assault by Healthcare Providers

Proud to have been the Senate sponsor on this vital piece of legislation.

“Trust is the foundation of the relationship between a doctor and a patient, and when that trust is abused to commit sexual assault, there must be clear and meaningful punishment. This bill will ensure that such punishment is available, and that prosecutors and victims have the tools they need to bring justice to these types of cases.”
