Every person is a potential victim of rape or sexual assault.
Reported victims rage in age from several months to 100 years. No age group is immune. The most vulnerable target is a solitary woman, especially at night or if she is impared by drugs, alcohol or medical situations. Often the assailant is someone that the victim knows closely or casually. Studies do not indicate any age preference, nor do they support the MYTH that sexual assault is provoked by either a women's mode of dress or her mannerisms.
