Everyone is a potential victim of sexual assault. A person is primarily vulnerable when they are alone. Sexual assault is not provoked by a person s dress or mannerisms.
Rapists are usually a friend, a date, a relative, co-worker, or a casual acquaintance of the victim.
Sexual assault can happen anywhere, but the largest grouping of incidents occurs either in the home of the victim or the home of the offender. If A Sexual Assault Occurs The first concern is for the health and safety of the survivor. If you or someone you know is the survivor of a sexual assault that occurred on campus, contact the Resident Assistant, Area Coordinator, or Public Safety. If the assault occurred off campus, notify the local police by calling 911. The Roxy Bolton Rape Treatment Center is a local resource for counseling, as well as confidential medical treatment after a sexual assault.
