Forensic Exam Accompaniment

In the state of Georgia, adult victims have the option of a free forensic exam (rape exam), whether they desire law enforcement involvement (an investigation) or not.

Trained PRCC staff and volunteer advocates offer exam options, assist in organizing exams, access to forensic exams in the Piedmont Judicial Circuit, and accompany victims to the hospital to offer support and information during the forensic exam process. Exams are preformed by SANE's (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner), which are trained, certified nurses who collect evidence during a forensic exam (rape kit).
