What is Sexual Assault?
Sexual assault is when someone sexually touches another person without their consent. This act is intentional and may force a person to engage in a sexual act against their will. Sexual assault may take many forms, including rape, attempted rape, groping, and domestic violence.
Many sexual assaults and rape go unreported to law enforcement and school officials. Some victims often feel ashamed or afraid to come forward about the attacks. Others may have reported it but see nothing is being done, so they give up. Every sexual assault survivor has the right to seek justice and compensation for the sexual assault, rape, harassment, and sexual abuse committed against their will.
