Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity that you do not agree to. This can
include touching, penetration, or being forced to do sexual acts. It can be
perpetrated by a stranger or by someone you know. Sexual assault is an act of
power and control over another person. No one “asks” to be sexually assaulted.
The decision to commit a sexual assault is made in the mind of the perpetrator—not
the victim.
If you are a victim please know that it isn’t your fault and that help is available to

getting your life back. Call us for more information or just to talk. All calls are
