Increasingly victims of crime are being sued by offenders for reporting crimes, participating in criminal and other legal processes, and speaking out about their experience. Being able to help connect people to legal resources and information when they are facing this kind of case is a valuable tool for everyone working with victims of crime. In this session, we will talk about anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) lawsuits and remedies, accessing insurance and other resources, collaboration, and how best to support someone who is facing yet another kind of victimization, via the legal system. We will share about Colorado’s response to these cases, and discuss next steps for advancing legal protections for victims.
