MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General Josh Kaul issued the following statement in reaction to today’s released report and Governor Evers’ Executive Order #62:

“Sexual assault is a violent crime that must always be taken seriously,” said AG Kaul. “I support Governor Evers’ swift response to the National Guard Bureau Office of Complex Investigations report, with his issuance of Executive Order #62. No survivor of sexual assault should be denied justice because of an outdated and insufficient system. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is working with Governor Evers to assess additional appropriate actions in light of the findings in the National Guard Bureau Office of Complex Investigations report.”
