NY Governor Andrew Cuomo
ALBANY – Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed legislation that he says strengthens the protections for victims of sexual assault.
The new legislation ensures that – in cases where the defendant is convicted of sexually assaulting a family member – the order of protection for the victim extends at least through the end of the defendant’s probation term.
Previously, orders of protection often expired while an offender was out of jail but remained on probation.
