Which attorneys are designated to provide legal assistance in sexual assault cases according to specific regulations?

The correct answer is Special Victims' Counsel. Special Victims' Counsel (SVC) play a pivotal role in the Navy's response to sexual assault cases by providing dedicated legal assistance to victims of sexual assault. These attorneys are specially trained to handle the complexities of sexual assault cases and are focused on advocating for the rights and needs of victims throughout the legal process. They provide confidential legal advice, assist with navigating the legal proceedings, and offer support in accessing resources available to the victim.

The SVC's designation is particularly important because they are tailored to understand the unique challenges that victims face, ensuring that their concerns are addressed and that they have a strong voice in the proceedings. This specialization is a critical component of the broader Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program, which aims to support victims and uphold justice within the military community.
