What is Sexual Assault?

The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim. While the term can take many different forms, one thing remains the same: it’s never the victim’s fault.

  • Attempted rape
  • Fondling or unwanted sexual touching
  • Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts
  • It can be verbal, visual or anything that causes a person to join in unwanted sexual contact
  • Penetration, also known as rape
  • Sexual assault can occur between, acquaintances, friends, strangers, family, coworkers, or in the context of an intimate relationship

What to do if you have been assaulted.

YCC’s trauma-informed case management team can provide information and referrals to other programs that can provide additional assistance.  Advocates are also available to respond on scene to forensic exams. All services are free and confidential. YCC Family Crisis Center does not discriminate in the delivery of services or benefits based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Remember that what happened is not your fault.

Prioritize your physical safety. If you are at risk for further assault, consider calling 911.  Get somewhere safe as soon as you can.

If you need a medical exam, avoid taking a shower and brushing your teeth if possible. If you need to change your clothing, place used clothing in a paper sack.

You do not have to go through this alone. YCC advocates are available 24/7 to assist. You can also contact a trusted support person if available.

If you would like to get medically checked and/or possibly undergo the forensic evidence collection process you can choose one of the following:

Visit an emergency room nearest to your location.

Contact your local law enforcement agency.

Call YCC’s 24-hour textable rape crisis line at  801-394-6552 or the 24-hour textable domestic violence crisis line at 801-392-7273.  

If you know that you do not want to report now, consider calling to speak to an advocate regarding other options available to you. Please note exams are covered by the Utah Office for Victims of Crime in accordance with the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). What happened was not your fault, and the financial cost of this exam should not be placed on you.
