Is there any fund set up to pay for costs related to a sexual assault?
The Washington State Crime Victims Compensation (CVC) Program is available to assist many victims of sexual assault. The program requires that you report to law enforcement within one year of the crime, or within one year of when a report could reasonably be made. You then must file an application with the CVC program within a certain time period no less than 2 years. You can receive an application form by calling our 24-hour Resource Line (1-888-99-VOICE) or by calling CVC directly at 1-800-762-3716. The other important piece of information about this fund is that it pays for the initial medical exam, but other insurance carriers must first cover any further expenses before CVC will contribute.
