Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is often thought of as a violent act of crime against women. While it does include that and more, those that commit sexual assault know no age, gender or cultural boundaries. It can happen anywhere, and does. Sexual assault is any unwanted physical contact that is sexual in nature, including non-consensual touching or more serious violations like non-consensual sexual activity, rape, aggravated rape, attempted rape, incest, child molestation, or any other unwanted sexual act that occurs by force, coercion, or under duress.
Acts of voyeurism, exhibitionism, and sexual harassment may also be considered sexual assault. Sexual assault can be committed by a stranger, but more often it is perpetrated by an acquaintance or someone the victim knows.
You need to know, as a victim of sexual assault, that you are not to blame. It is a criminal act against an innocent victim. It carries long-lasting emotional, psychological, physical and legal consequences for its victims. You need someone that will understand the sensitivity of the situation and will handle the case with the utmost delicacy for your privacy and feelings.
