- You have the right, if an offender is charged, to be informed of and participate in the prosecution process, including the right to request restitution (money court ordered from the offender and paid to the victim).
- If you feel your rights as a victim have been violated, you can contact the MN Crime Victims Ombudsman's Office at 651-282-6258 or 1-800-247-0390 or TDD 651-282-6555.
