"Reform of Victoria’s criminal law system will help reduce the trauma for victims testifying in sexual assault cases, Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said. Amendments introduced into Parliament will make further improvements to criminal procedure and strengthen protections for complainants in sexual offence cases.“Victims of sexual assault can experience incredible added stress and trauma as their matters go through the justice system, and giving evidence in court can be devastating and have long term effects,” Mr Hulls said."
