The different kinds of sexual assault. Where you can go to get help.
Sexual assault is another name for rape, incest, or sexual abuse.
People who rape, incest or sexually abuse others really do it to dominate or control them. They may say they do it to satisfy their sexual needs, but that is not their real reason. Remember, sexual assault, whether in the form of incest, acquaintance rape, date rape, marital rape, stranger rape or ritualistic abuse, is an act of violence. No one ever deserves to be sexually assaulted, no matter what one has said or done, or how one is dressed. Unfortunately, you cannot pick a rapist out of a crowd.
