438-7948 or 438-2778 to schedule an appointment. Talking with someone does not mean that a formal report (police report) of sexual assault has been filed. Filing a report is separate from accessing needed support and recovery services.
Many survivors of sexual assault feel that they are somehow to blame for what happened to them. Know that victims are never to blame for their victimization.
No matter what you did/did not do, you cannot be responsible for the actions of someone else.
Survivors are often concerned that if they are underage and were drinking at the time of their assault, they will be punished for underage drinking if they report the assault. Know that generally neither the university police, nor the city police, will file charges against a sexual assault survivor for underage drinking.
