If I Am A Victim Of Sexual Assault Or Rape, What Should I Do?

If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Rape is forced sexual intercourse. It is a crime of violence. Reporting to local law enforcement may help give you peace of mind and prevent the rapist from committing another assault.

You should take advantage of any counseling service available to you. Emotional support is very important.

Remember: Do not accept blame for what another person has done to you. No one asks to be raped. Sexual assault is never the fault of the victim.
