Final answer:

Victims' rights are stipulated in the Victim Impact Statement, and law enforcement agencies, victim advocates, and support organizations are responsible for ensuring victims understand their service and support options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rights of victims of sexual assault are stipulated in the Victim Impact Statement, which allows victims to describe the impact of the crime on their lives. The responsibility for ensuring that victims understand all service and support options available falls on various entities, such as law enforcement agencies, victim advocates, and support organizations. Understanding the rights of the accused, such as the right to be informed of why they are being held, the right to remain silent, and the right to legal counsel, is also key in the broader context of legal rights as they are part of the due process protections provided by the law to ensure a fair trial, which indirectly impact victim rights as well.
