The accuser may pursue remedies on campus in additional to a criminal or civil suit. For criminal prosecution, the victim may file formal charges with the Waterville Police Department. This will lead to an investigation by the police and the District Attorney, who will determine if there is enough evidence to bring formal charges. The local Rape Crisis Assistance and Prevention organization can provide assistance through the process. By bringing a civil suit, the victim seeks damages and should consult with an attorney.
Legal advice is important in either situation.
