Here to Protect Your Rights

Suffering sexual abuse is an excruciatingly traumatic experience for the victim. Immediately after the encounter, the victim will rightfully feel shocked, fear, anger, and disbelief. The effects of abuse can also be long-lasting. Victims of sexual abuse have reported depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and high blood pressure years after the incident occurred. If you or a loved one has been sexually abused, report the incident, and seek help immediately.

Types of Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse includes any type of unwanted sexual contact or activity, including:

  • Rape or attempted rape
  • Fondling or groping
  • Indecent exposure
  • Forcing others to touch genitals
  • Watching others perform sexual acts

Sexual abuse can occur in many places, including home, school, work, or a care facility. In most cases, the victim knows their abuser. Unfortunately, the victim does not report the abuse for reasons such as fear of retaliation, believing the incident was not important, and/or embarrassment or fear of negative social stigma.

Because individuals will react differently to sexual abuse, victims may exhibit various signs that indicate they have been or are being abused.
