If you were pressured into sex, there are many resources available to support and guide you. Experienced therapists and counselors are trained in helping victims of sexual assault and abuse. Many have 24-hour hotlines and provide a confidential space to discuss what happened. Speaking to someone about what happened is often one of the first steps to realizing a healthy course of action. If you were under 18 years old when the sexual encounter took place, report it to authorities, and schedule a SANE exam at a medical facility as soon as possible. A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner may ask to take photos of injuries or collect samples that contain evidence. Victims may be accompanied by an advocate if they prefer.
