Sexual Assault and Battery
by Anna Morgan
Sexual assault is more common than one might think. Here are some facts on the matter:
- the most common victim for sexual crimes is a woman between the age of 18 and 25
- males are victims of sex crimes too
- 84% percent of victims know their perpetrator
- every two minutes, someone in America is sexually assaulted
Some ways to play it safe:
- don't get in a situation (such as a party) that would give someone an opportunity to assault you
- be very cautious when making decisions regarding another person or your relationship
- do not consume alcohol, do drugs, or participate in anything that might compromise your capability to make decisions
