What if you did not want it?
 

Sexual assault is unwanted sexual contact of any kind. This includes situations where force, violence, or weapons are used as well as situations where the victim is too intoxicated or scared to give consent.
 
 
You are not alone.
 
 
Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.
About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30.
