FOX 7 Discussion: Protecting child sex assault victims

AUSTIN, Texas - State lawmakers are making another attempt to protect child sex assault victims from being arrested and charged.

State Rep. Shawn Thierry (D-Houston) has refiled HB 162 or the Protect Child Victims of Sexual Assault Act, formerly HB 1771 in the 86th Legislature. She joins Rebecca Thomas to talk about this in greater detail.
