I think that the whole military justice system can be very intimidating to a victim, not only because of the legal formalism, but also because of the procedures themselves. People who are not familiar with it will probably not be comfortable. The liaison officer will thus ensure that the victim understands all of the ins and outs of the military justice system, as well as the different steps to be followed; he will ensure that the person receives the necessary support all through this process.
I'd like to add that the Sexual Misconduct Resource Centre also stated in its annual report that it would soon be putting in place case managers to support every victim, not only in the context of military justice proceedings, but as long as the person's file is open. Case managers will be there from the time when the victim experiences sexual misconduct that must be disclosed, right up to the resolution.
The liaison officers and case managers will thus co-operate and complement each other.
