What is Sexual Assault?

Sexual assault is intentional sexual 

contact, characterized by the use of 

force, threat, abuse of authority, or 

when the victim does not or cannot 

consent. This includes: rape, nonconsensual sodomy, indecent assault, 

or any attempts to commit these 

acts. Sexual assault can occur without 

regard to gender, spousal relationship, 

or age of the victim. Sexual assault is a 

crime punishable under the UCMJ as 

well as state and federal laws.

DLA SAPR Mission

 What to Do if You Have Been

 Sexually Assaulted

• Find a safe environment, away from the offender.

• Call the SAPR hotline: 1-800-841-0937.

To preserve evidence, don’t take a bath or brush

your teeth or your hair, do not throw away any clothes 

worn at the time of the incident, do not use the 

restroom, do not put on make up, and do not clean or 

straighten up the area where the incident occured. 

What type of assistance can 

a Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinator (SARC) or Victim Advocate (VA) provide?

• Help determining if you need to seek medical

care for a forensic exam. If you are bleeding, in 

 pain, or notice other injuries, please seek

immediate medical care.

• Assistance navigating the military and civilian

criminal justice system(s), if the victim

desires law enforcement involvement. • Information and referral for other resources,

both on and off base, including: medical, 

safe housing, counseling, support groups, spiritual 

support, and legal services.

 Remember: a sexual assault is

 never the victim’s fault.

It is never too late to call. Even if the assault 

happened years ago, the SAPR program can still 

help. Many victims do not realize that they need 

help until months or years later.

Personal Safety Tips:

•Use the buddy system.

•Communicate your wishes 

clearly and with authority.

•Trust your instincts. If you 

start to feel uncomfortable or 

afraid: get help.

•Don’t be afraid to be impolite 

or make a scene.

•Avoid individuals who don’t 

respect your personal space.

•Practice situational awareness 

at all times.
