RICHMOND, Va. -- Many say that when it comes to sexual assault, you can never start educating too early.
"These are issues that unfortunately permeate our society and the ages of the victims are getting younger and younger," said Del. Eileen Filler-Corn.
Del. Filler-Corn has presented legislation that would help combat sexual assault.
It was passed by both the House and Senate. It's now headed to the Governor.
One of the bills would require high school family life education to start teaching and educating about dating violence and sexual violence.
"I don't think that predatory behavior is destined and it's ingrained in your DNA, I think it's a choice," said Gil Harrington.
Harrington's daughter, Morgan was murdered back in 2009.
Another bill would focus on trauma training for victims.
Kristi VanAudenhove was a victim of sexual assault. She said she will forever remember the officer that helped her, but is glad to see there will now be even more training.
"We've already given them many tools for a more effective response, make a huge difference for them and survivors," said VanAudenhove.
