Prosecuting non-Natives for sexual assault on reservations

Native American tribes begin prosecuting non-Indians for sexual assault on reservations

Native American women are two and a half times more likely than their peers to experience sexual assault. Often the perpetrators aren't Native Americans, and because of a legal loophole, perpetrators have been able to get away with it. Now a new federal law gives tribal courts the ability to bring those perpetrators to justice. Stephen Fee updates this report that first aired in November 2014.
