    Respondents are sexual assault victims who have elected to make a 
restricted or confidential report that precludes the initiation of a 
law enforcement investigation. The respondent has the option to provide 
information relevant to the crime via this program while keeping their 
identity confidential. The information provided by the respondent is 
reviewed by law enforcement officials, and if indicators of a possible 
multiple offender are identified, the respondent's advocate is 
contacted to determine whether or not the respondent would prefer a 
criminal investigation be initiated. All information collected from 
this program, to include the identity of a suspect, is not releasable 
and may not be used for any purpose unless the respondent agrees to 
make a formal report to law enforcement.
