Many times victims feel responsible or to blame for the assault. However, the only person responsible for sexual assault is the rapist.
Rapists choose a victim based on their vulnerability and accessibility.
To a rapist, a person using alcohol or other drugs may appear more vulnerable than a person who is sober. However, simply because a person chooses to engage in behaviors that make one appear more vulnerable does not give anyone the right to sexually assault them. Bad judgment is not punishable by sexual assault. Communities must condemn sexual assault by applying social pressure on the offender, NOT the victim. Sexual Assault is a crime that uses 'sex' as a weapon to express power, anger and control over another person.
