Rule 1035.6 As used in this article, “holder of the privilege” means: (a) The victim when such person has no guardian or conservator.

The "holder of the privilege" is the person who gets to decide whether private communications with a sexual assault counselor can be shared in court.

If you are a victim and you do not have a legal guardian or conservator, you hold this privilege yourself. That means you are in control of whether those private conversations stay private. If you have a guardian or conservator, that person holds the privilege on your behalf. If the victim has died, their personal representative, such as the executor of their estate, takes on that role.
