A victim shall have the right to have a forensic medical examination regardless of whether the victim participates in the criminal justice
system or cooperates with law enforcement in pursuing prosecution of the underlying crime. A victim shall not be required to pay, directly or indirectly, for the cost of a forensic medical examination. The cost of a forensic medical examination shall be paid for by the Georgia Crime
Victims Emergency Fund, as provided for in Chapter 15 of this title.
