But, don't resist if the attacker has a weapon. Keep assessing the situation as it is happening. If one strategy doesn't work, try another. Possible options in addition to nonresistance are negotiating, stalling for time, distracting the assailant and fleeing to a safe place, verbal assertiveness, screaming to attract attention, and physical resistance. You may be able to turn the attacker off with bizarre behavior such as throwing up, acting crazy, or picking your nose.
RAPE Go to a safe place and call the police.
The sooner you make the report, the greater the chances the attacker will be caught. Do not shower, bathe, douche, or destroy any of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault. Do not disturb anything in the area where the assault occurred. It is important to preserve all physical evidence for court use. Go to a hospital emergency room for medical care.
