Sexual assault is any sexual behaviour that is unwanted, unwelcome or uninvited.
Sexual assault can happen to anyone.
It is an act of violence, it is not about love or affection. It violates a person's sense of safety and control. Perpetrators of sexual assault use power, force and manipulation to attempt to control another person's body, senses and emotions. The perpetrator is usually male and most often someone known and trusted by the victim. This may include a partner, parent, sibling, grandparent, friend, work colleague, family friend or neighbour.
