What occurs during unrestricted reporting of a sexual assault?

During unrestricted reporting of a sexual assault, the victim not only comes forward to report the incident but also opts for a formal investigation. This means that when a victim chooses unrestricted reporting, it allows them to receive medical care and support services while also permitting law enforcement to investigate the crime. This pathway is designed to offer a balance between the victim's needs for privacy and support, while also facilitating the legal process to hold offenders accountable.

In unrestricted reporting, the information provided by the victim is not kept confidential in the sense that it initiates a formalized process, ensuring that appropriate actions are taken to address the crime. The approach emphasizes the importance of thorough investigations to promote justice and support for victims. Consequently, the other options do not align with the nature of unrestricted reporting; for instance, the victim's details are not kept confidential, and authorities do not ignore the incident but actively engage in investigating it.
