I never thought it would happen to me. One out of three females and one out of seven males will experience some form of sexual assault in their lifetimes. But I thought I knew that person. . . Fifty percent of sexual assaults happen in the homes of victims, and in over sixty percent of the sexual assaults the offender is known to the victim. I feel like I've lost control over everything.
Sexual assault is a brutal and violent act.
You have just experienced a violent crime. You may feel angry and take it out on those you love. You may feel afraid that your attacker will come back. You may feel ashamed of what has happened to you. You may feel unclean, even after bathing.
