Sexual assault can happen to anyone. It includes any sexual contact or behavior that happens without explicit and informed consent. Sexual assault can take many forms such as:
Sexual assault is about power and control and is often perpetrated by someone you know. In other instances, the perpetrator may not be known at all to the person who was sexually assaulted.
Survivors often blame themselves, but the survivor is never to blame for the actions of a perpetrator.
