What is Sexual Assault?
Sexual assault includes any sexual activity involving someone who did not or could not (due to age or incapacitation) give consent. Sexual assault is about power and control.
Sexual abuse crosses racial, religious, cultural, sexual and gender lines. It impacts children, youth, adults and the elderly throughout our country. Statistics show that three out of four survivors are assaulted by someone they know, an acquaintance, family member, friend, dating partner or spouse.
