WWW.FRANKAGUONJILCOM 2 of 5 Officer Wade: Good morning Senators, ladies and gentleman, rm Lieutenant Scott Wade of the Guam Police Department Auxiliary, Services Division. Thank you for the opportunity to testify on behalf of my unit specifically, The Domestic Assault Response Team of the Guam Police Department. We are in support of Bill No. 79-33 (COR). Traditionally, cases arc addressed from the law enforcement and prosecution standpoint in which the investigation and successful prosecution is the main focus. The reason we support this bill is it follows the ideal and philosophy of the domestic assault response team, which is victim first. The bill allows the victim to have a say and control the communications between them and the advocates. The victim and advocate relationship is fragile and based on support and trust. To be subpoenaed and compelled to testify on intimate and personal matters shared between the two is difficult and makes the process a bit cumbersome. This bill allows the victim the ability to make decisions around those communications and what can be shared, which will allow the victim to be more open and direct with our advocates, which will allow our advocates to address the needs of our victims more specifically, more directly. The Guam Police Department Domestic Response Team is in support of Bill No. 79-33 (COR).
Chairman Aguon: Thank you very much officer Wade for joining us this morning and providing testimony on behalf of the department. rd like to, before I recognize Deputy Attorney General Phil Tydingco, if I can invite Karen Carpenter, please, if you would like to join us up front for testimony. Deputy Attorney General Tydingco, you may proceed with your testimony. Just identify yourself for the record and proceed.
Karen Carpenter: Volunteer with Victim Advocates Reaching Out, and Erica's House.
Chairman Aguon: Thank you for joining us this morning.
Phil Tydingco: Good morning. Buenas, Chairman, Senator Frank Aguon and good morning to all you senators, Senator Torres, Senator Tom Ada, Senator James Espaldon, Senator Tony Ada, and Senator Tommy Monison. On behalf Attorney General Elizabeth Barrett Anderson, and the Office of the Attorney General, we thank you for this opportunity to provide testimony. If I may, read her written testimony into the record for Bill No. 79-33 (COR).
[Written Testimony Attached]
And for the record my name is Phil Tydingco, Chief Prosecutor for the Prosecutor Division and I also join with the Attorney General and other members and stakeholders in support for the Vice Speaker Cruz's Bill No. 79-33 (COR). lt is a needed piece of legislation and privilege we need at law and I thiak it will contribute immensely to the compendium oflaws and services that are evolving in the protection of victims of crime rights. Thank you.
Chairman Aguon: Thank you very much Chief Prosecutor, and please extend our appreciation to the Attorney General for submitting testimony this morning. Ms. Carpenter.
Karen Carpenter: Yes. I don't have written testimony but Victim Advocates Reaching Out too is in full support of this bill. We foe! it would really be assistance for our victim advocates. Our President Julia Ullao Heath isn't ahle to be here today because she had a prior commitment, but I am on the board for our advocates.

WWW,FRANKACUON)R COM 3 of 5 Karen Carpenter: As they have said before you know, when you're working with a victim and we're crisis responders so we are there early on and they need to be able to talk it out without fearing that somebody later down the line would say you said this now and you said this later. lfyou know anything about trauma, victims don't tell their stories in a linear manner. They don't start here and go here. here, here. and they go there and then they're here because they are in that trauma situation. So it's really important for the advocates to be able to listen and assist the victim without the victim being concerned that there words are being thrown back at them later.
Chairman Aguon: Thank you very much Ms. Carpenter for your testimony this morning. 1 would also like to welcome to the committee Senator Morrison. Thank you, senator, for joining us this morning. Senators any questions any comments with regards to Bill No. 79-33 (COR). Senator Espaldon?
Senator Espaldon: Thank you Mr. Chairn1an. Just a simple question. Aside from the Attorney General's office, and we appreciate your testimony by the way, Ms. Carpenter, thank you for being here. Between GPD (Guam Police Department) and the AG's office (Attorney General's Office) and of course now we have FERA, any other entities out there that might be victim advocate agencies. lfthere are, can you just kind of spell them out for me please, or whatever you might know. Anybody can answer that question.
Karen Carpenter: I know that Oasis has some victim advoeates. I believe Guma' Marni does. Help me here guys. Sanctuary. Ali Shelter, so there's a variety of them in the community at different agencies that do help the victims.
Senator Espaldon: 1 guess the follow up question to that and do you know of any examples where a person acting as a crime victim advocate has revealed confidential or potentially confidential infonnation that would be detrimental to them?
Officer Scott Wade: There's been some incidence where the victim advocates assigned to the Guam Police Department Victim Assistance Unit have subpoenaed by defense attorneys and compelled to testify on communications between the victim and themselves during the course of the trial.
Senator Espaldon: Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Chairman Aguon: Thank you very much, Senator Espaldon. Just in line with the question that was just posed. Now with the victim advocates, the way this legislation is written would also cover victim advocates in the other non profit organizations'' Is that correct"
Phil Tydingco: Yes. The definition of crime victim advocates includes private and public entities so it's fairly broad. It means that a person who is employed or authorized by a public or private entity to provide counseling treatment or other support assistance to crime victims. So that's a fairly broad definition. Although I suppose you could make it broader or narrower depending on what the policy is here, but it seems pretty inclusive to cover both governmental and non-governmental entities or agencies.

I want to begin by thanking you for holding today's public hearing relative to Bill No. 79-33 (COR), "An act to add a new Chapter 163 to Title 8 of the Guam Code Annotated; relative to creating a category of privileged communications between victim and victim advocate." Unfortunately, I could not be here with you today because of a previously scheduled commitment to speak before the Guam Non-profit Congress at the Guam Community College. In my statement this morning, I would be remiss if I did not also thank Attorney General Elizabeth Barrett-Anderson_ Drafted in consultation with her office and introduced at the beginning of National Crime Victims Week, Bill No. 79-33 (COR) recognizes what many other jurisdictions have known for decades: that victims, their counselors, and advocates deserve an environment built on trust protected by the force of law. Both courts and legislatures have acknowledged the importance of confidentiality in promoting an effective counseling relationship- The U.S. Supreme Court, in Jaffee v. Redmond, 518 U -5. 1 (1996) observed that: "[E]ffective psychotherapy [- .. ] [d]epends upon an atmosphere of confidence and trust in which the patient is willing to make a frank and complete disclosure of facts, emotions, memories, and fears. Because of the sensitive nature of the problems for which individuals consult psychotherapists, disclosure of confidential communications made during counseling sessions may canse embarrassment or disgrace. For this reason, the mere possibility of disclosure may impede development of the confidential relationship necessary for successful treatment." Sponsor Statement: Bill No. 79-33 (COR) The Honorable Frank Blas Aguon, Jr. May 4, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Likewise, the Illinois Supreme Court noted "if a rape crisis counselor could not guarantee confidentiality to a victim, the effectiveness of rape crisis centers would be undermined."1 New Jersey's semi-absolute victim privilege law specifies the legislature's intent in enacting a law that states, "Counseling of violence and victims is most successful when the victims are assured their thoughts and feelings will remain confidential and will not be disclosed without their permission ( ... ] Confidentiality should be accorded all victims of violence who require counseling whether or not they are able to afford the services of private psychiatrists or psychologists."2 Moreover the U.S. Department of Justice's proposed model legislation contains a findings and purposes section that outlines the need to protect victims' confidential communications with their counselors: "This Act recognizes the important role of counseling in the ability of victims to recover from the trauma of the crime and in the achievement of legal safeguards and of the social and economic assistance essential to achieve protection from further criminal assault ( ... ) Without assurances that communications made during the counseling relationship will be confidential and protected from disclosure, victims will be even more reluctant to seek counseling or to confide openly to their counselors and to explore legal and social remedies fully." 3 This bill is intended to prevent further victimization but its protections are not absolute. Specifically, the communication is not privileged if the crime victim advocate knows that the victim will give or has given perjured testimony or if the communication contains exculpatory material. As such, I hope that the Chairman, his Committee on the Guam U.S. Military Relocation, Public Safety, and Judiciary, and those in attendance today will join me in making this measure better where necessary-allowing it to move to the floor during the next available session.

This law stems from discussions with community Prosecution based victim organizations that provide direct services to victims of crime. It would 2410 establish privilege over communications between a crime victim and advocates. The privilege is intended to give crime victims protection. It foster trust in the AG relationship between a crime victim and the advocate. A victim can be assured that Solicitors ext 3115 what is communicated to an advocate in the course ofdirect services such as facilitating advice, providing supportive assistance, or direct counseling will remain confidential. This privilege is similar to protections afforded an attorney-client, or a doctor-patient. Kenneth D. Orcutt AG It belongs to the victim. Civil Litigation exL 3225 The purpose of the privilege over communications between a victim and an advocate is to protect communications from being revealed at any stage of a criminal investigation or judicial proceeding. It is a prohibition enforceable against both law AG enforcement and defense. There are certain limitations to the protected speech such as Consumer Counsel where the advocate is infonned the victim intends to engage in perjured speech. ext. 3250 Most states have some fonn of victim-advocate privilege. It is an important tool to build the trust between a victim and the advocate during the trauma of domestic Child Support violence, criminal sexual assault, and many other similar traumatic types of crime. ext 1610 We ask the Committee for its full support of the proposed legislati9JL---, I "'"'"' Caro! r·A.

My name is Suanne C. Camaeho, a senior soeial work student at the University of Guam and a practicum student at Erica's House. a family visitation center. I am suhmitting a written testimony in tbe support of the intent of the bill. As a Social Work student, I strongly believe that crime victims should have the privilege to refuse any disclosed confidential information or communication between a victim and a crime advocate. In analysis of this bill with my fellow field instructors at Erica's House. we discussed the erosion of crime victim's privacy and confidentiality that should be protected at all times. With the passage of this act, it would help ensure security of those experiencing any sorts of crime and being provided with counseling. guidance. and a personal representative due to the intensity of the situation on the crime. This bill will open up job opportunities for service providers such as Social W orkcr, Psychologists. Counselors. and other positions for experts in the fi.tturc whom can provide direct services to crime victims. Crime victim advocates will make a difference in the lives of individuals suffering from all sorts of traumatized events, 1 strongly support the intent of the bill for the well being of crime victims and for the whole community.

The Oasis has been working with victims and do provide a variety of supportive services to these victims including counseling. Victims face so many challenges and risks as they try to move toward safety. Even more difficult is their predicament when it involves separation and legal issues. Many don't know who they can trust as they talk about the problems they have been facing. But talking openly is an essential part of the healing that trauma victims need to experience. This legislation can establish a new sense of security and trust with their personal advocate. Thank you for your work to help protect victims who are among the most vulnerable population on our island. The Oasis is currently working to advance new strategies to support victims of human trafficking as well. I think there are some other important legislative issues that allow this practice to continue to flourish even on our island. If you require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Rev.

Pat, Ed.D. and the Honorable Senators of the 33'd Guam Legislature Erica's House, Guam's only Family Visitation Center is in support of the addition to Chapter 163 Title 8 of the Guam Code Annotated introduced by Senator Benjamin J .F. Cruz in regards to Victim-Advocate Privilege. Erica's House is a support service for parents and children in need of visitation and exchange services. Services provided are: ( 1) a safe place for the pick up and drop off children for exchange between parents; (2) on-site partially supervised visitation or direct supervised visitations by staff or Child Protective Services (CPS); and (3) parenting classes are offered for Court or CPS referrals or for those interested. Although the last in the chain of services, Erica's House serves victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and dating violence. Often times, victims are scared or ashamed to disclose information to staff in fear that it will be revealed in court and in some cases used against them. When clients are able to comfortably disclose information, it allows staff to provide the necessary help victims/survivors need; either provided at the facility or being referred to other organizations or agencies. Furthermore, passing the bill for victim-advocate privilege will hopefully help increase reporting and allow victims to speak out and obtain the services they need without being re-victimized and falling through the cracks or gaps. I thank you for your time in regards to this important matter. Sincerely, Diana C.
