R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-66.7-11: Immunity from liability.

Any person, institution, or official who in good faith participates in the registering of a complaint, or who in good faith investigates that complaint or provides access to those persons carrying out the investigation, or who participates in a judicial proceeding resulting from that complaint, is immune from any civil or criminal liability that might otherwise be a result of these actions. For the purpose of any civil or criminal proceedings, there is a rebuttable presumption that any person acting pursuant to this chapter did so in good faith.
