I’ve recently signed on as an original cosponsor to the Survivor’s Voice Protection Act , authored by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY). This legislation ensures that private contractual provisions cannot be used to prevent survivors from disclosing sexual abuse—defined as any criminal sexual abuse and assault, the sexual grooming of minors, or human trafficking—while creating additional accountability for trusted individuals to protect minors by establishing a legal obligation for fiduciaries to report suspected grooming behavior to a law enforcement authority. Further, the Survivor’s Voice Protection Act would define “grooming” in federal law for the very first time – a pertinent development that can and should be implemented.
Support implementing the Survivor’s Voice Protection Act to prevent contracts from silencing sexual abuse survivors, require fiduciaries to report suspected grooming, and define grooming in federal law.
