Sexual Assault

Sexual Assault is...

Any unwanted act of a sexual nature that is imposed on another person.

It is estimated that as many as one-fifth of all women in higher educational institutions may become the victim of an attempted sexual assault. While the figures are much smaller for men, they also can be sexually assaulted.

Below is a link to information which can give some help and guidance if you are facing this exceedingly difficult situation.
