Sex is used as the weapon. Victims often feel that they have no choice but to go along with their attacker. They are coerced, manipulated and forced to participate in unwanted sexual activity. Many victims fear loss of life if they do not submit. If you submit, it does not mean that you consented .
Victims are never responsible for their sexual assault.
The victim needs to place the responsibility for that assault on the individual who chose to attack them. Most perpetrators know their victims and plan their attack. A woman has a four times greater chance of being raped by someone she knows than by a stranger. Most sexual assaults occur in or around the victim's home. Victims can be any age.
