Haytham,
  Here are my notes from my interview with Ms. Anna Barton this morning.

BS in psych, minor in Women's Studies (2006)
Victim counselor advocate in HI @ nonprofit, Jan 2006-2009
Was an Army VA beginning Sep 2009, transferred to HQMC in 2010, transferred to Quantico Feb 2011.
Got interested in helping vic's of DV/SA during undergrad thru her women's studies classes.

AV's victim advocate.  When AV came in and filed the report.  Initially filed a restricted report, she changed her mind later (kind of) after she disclosed to command

Re: expected testimony - "your guess is as good as mine"  Most likely simply when she came in initially, she filed a restricted report then after talking to command, it changed to unrestricted

At first meeting, did not disclose any specifics of the incident
Referred to her from Family Services Program.  Barton explained options, discussed resources
AV didn't want to get person in trouble, didn't want cmd to know, didn't want anyone to know
Continued to work together.  Was at 1st NCIS meeting, but no subsequent ones
Keeps a log (had to get it from SARC at Henderson Hall - already provided to gov't).

8 Sep - first meeting
20 Sep - NCIS (first interview)
7 Feb - closed case and transferred case to UVA
Lots of emails, last email was last month
