Sexual assault is a crime. It is motivated by a need to control, humiliate and harm. It is not motivated by sexual desire. Most often, people are sexually assaulted by someone they know. Sexual assault is more widespread than most people recognize. One in six women and one in 33 men report an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime and  60.4 percent of females and 69.2 percent of male victims were sexually assaulted before 18 years of age.

If You Are Sexually Assaulted

  • Go to a safe place
  • Do not shower or bathe
  • Do not change your clothes or brush your teeth
  • Seek medical attention immediately
  • Report to law enforcement
  • Seek counseling
  • Remember, sexual assault is NEVER your fault!

Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Services offers volunteer advocate training several times a year for persons interested in responding to victims of rape or sexual assault. Participants will learn about the legal and emotional aspects of this crime.

Rape Crisis also offers therapeutic support groups for adolescent and adult survivors of rape and sexual assault. These groups are designed to provide support to persons who have experienced a rape or sexual assault at any point in their life. An initial screening is required. Prior or concurrent individual counseling is preferred.
