What to do if you have been sexually assaulted

• Remember: it is not your fault.
• Report the incident to your local law enforcement.
• Go immediately to a MedCentral emergency department.

If the assault occurred within three days do not:

• shower
• urinate
• eat
• drink
• smoke
• douche
• have a bowel movement
• change clothes

Ultimately, the decision to prosecute a person for sexual assault is yours as an adult. Remember that prosecuting a perpetrator is the only way we can stop that person from striking again. Prosecuting sexual assault sends a message that the behavior will not be tolerated.
