This is a forum run by a judge in Georgia and frequented by attorneys in
other states. It might be a good place to ask here. (Like with Yahoo, you'll need a free membership with Delphi
to access this service.) Another option is checking with your local rape crisis center to see if you qualify for victims'
compensation. This varies from state to state and there are rules and requirements.

What are Crime Victim Services? A variety of programs exist to serve crime
victims and witnesses. The programs are not the same in all communities, and there may be areas, such as rural communities,
where it may be more difficult to find victim services. Some people have had a hard time obtaining services, perhaps
because the program they contacted did not have staff that was trained or qualified to provide individualized services, or
for some other reason. A victim who is turned away or refused crime victim assistance services should contact the National
Organization for Victim Assistance at 800-232-6682 to report the problem. Most crime victims, with information and persistence,
are likely to be able to find help.
http://www.trynova.org/Victims/find_help.html
Where to find help: The easiest way to find a community-based victim assistance
program is to call the National Crime Victim Information and Referral Hotline, operated by the National Organization for Victim
Assistance. The toll-free number is 800-879-6682 (voice 24 hours a day; TTY Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Eastern
Time).
http://www.trynova.org/Victims/crime_services.html
Victim assistance services- The most valuable asset of good victim assistance
programs will be their knowledgeable and compassionate staff members, who often work very hard on behalf of those affected
by crime. They may be called by various titles (victim advocate, victim counselor, victim specialist, rape crisis counselor,
etc.).
