A long-awaited Iowa attorney general's audit of victim services — blamed for a year-long pause on payments for sexual assault victims' emergency contraceptives and abortions — is hung up with "senior staff" who haven't signed off on its release, the Register has learned. In response to an open records request the Register filed last October, the Attorney General's Office confirmed it has a completed draft of the victim services audit in hand. However, the office declined to release those findings, stating the office's top staff have determined the report still has not reached the final stages and requires additional "collaboration and work." The office cited a section of Iowa Code excluding preliminary documents from public records law. It's unclear when the victim services report will be released publicly.
