LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN)- Nebraska’s Attorney General (AG) Doug Peterson announces new efforts to further victim advocacy in the state.
State officials are focusing on providing more robust training for law enforcement regarding child abuse and child exploitation, Nebraska Sexual Assault Payment Program reports, and a Nebraska Sexual Assault Forensic Kit Tracking website.
