WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE RAPED

GET TO A SAFE PLACE
This is not the time to be alone. At the very least, you need emotional support. If there is no one to go to, then call someone you can talk to, no matter how late it is.
DO NOT BATHE, SHOWER, DOUCHE, OR CHANGE YOUR CLOTHING

GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY
Go to a hospital, college health services, or private physician for a medical examination, treatment of possible injuries, sexually transmitted diseases, and for possible pregnancy testing. If you decide to press charges, physical specimens collected soon after the rape will be valuable evidence.

CALL POLICE / PUBLIC SAFETYAND / OR OTHER COLLEGE OFFICIALS
Reporting as soon as possible will strengthen your case if you decide to file charges. You can make that decision later. Contacting the Police/Public Safety does NOT mean the case has to go to trial. They can assist you with getting medical attention and counseling. These services are CONFIDENTIAL.

DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF
REMEMBER – You are the victim of a crime. Do not be afraid to reach out for assistance and support.
