Injury, sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy are possible following an assault. Report the crime. Whether a rape is committed by a stranger or an acquaintance, it is a crime and can be reported to the police. If the abuser is a student, a complaint may also be filed with the University. Talk with someone who understands.
Rape can cause emotional trauma.
It is always helpful to talk over fears, concerns and problems with someone who can provide support. This might be a close friend, partner or counselor. Avoid victim blame. Rape is never the fault of the victim. Self-blame or blame by others only increases emotional trauma.
