What is Sexual Assault?

​Sexual assault and abuse are terms that refer to sexual contact without your consent. Rape, incest, attempted rape and unwanted sexual touch are sexual assault. Sexual Assault is a crime of violence and power, NOT an act of sexual passion. It can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. A person may use force, threats, manipulation, or coercion to commit acts of sexual violence.

Forms of sexual violence include:
  • Rape or sexual assault
  • Child sexual assault and incest
  • Sexual assault by a person’s spouse or partner
  • Unwanted sexual contact/touching
  • Sexual harassment
  • Sexual exploitation and trafficking
  • Exposing one’s genitals or naked body to other(s) without consent
  • Masturbating in public
  • Watching someone engage in private acts without their knowledge or permission
  • Nonconsensual image sharing
