Sexual Assault
Important steps to take immediately after a sexual assault:
- Get away from the attacker to a safe place as fast as you can. Then call 911.
- Call a friend or family member you trust. You can also call a crisis center or a hotline to talk with a counselor. One hotline is the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE(4673) Feelings of shame, guilt, fear, and shock are normal. It is important to get counseling from a trusted professional.
- Do not wash, comb, or clean any part of your body. Do not change clothes if possible, so the hospital staff can collect evidence. Do not touch or change anything at the scene of the assault.
- Go to your nearest hospital emergency room as soon as possible. You need to be examined, treated for any injuries, and screened for possible sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and/ or pregnancy. The doctor will collect evidence using a rape kit for fibers, hairs, saliva, semen, or clothing that the attacker may have left behind.
While at the hospital:
- If you decide you want to file a police report, you or the hospital staff can call the police from the emergency room.
- Ask the hospital staff to connect you with The SafeHouse Center (734-995-5444). The center staff can help you make choices about reporting the attack and getting help through counseling and support groups.
Where else can I go for help?
- If you are sexually assaulted, it is not your fault. Do not be afraid to ask for help or support. Help is available, you can call these organizations:
- National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-SAFE(7233) TTY 800-787-3224 or Text "START" to 88788
- National Sexual Assault Hotline 800-656-HOPE(4673)

How can I lower my risk of sexual assault?
There are things you can do to reduce your chances of being sexually assaulted. Follow
these tips from the National Crime Prevention Council:
- Be aware of your surroundings – who’s out there and what’s going on.
- Walk with confidence. The more confident you look, the stronger you appear.
- Know your limits when it comes to using alcohol.
- Be assertive – don’t let anyone violate your space.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in your surroundings, leave.
- Don’t prop open self-locking doors.
- Lock your door and your windows, even if you leave for just a few minutes.
- Watch your keys; do not lend them, do not leave them, do not lose them, and do not put your name and address on the key ring. If you do lose your keys have the locks to your home changed.
- Watch out for unwanted visitors. Know who’s on the other side of the door before you open it. Be wary of isolated spots, like underground garages, open offices after business hours, and apartment laundry rooms.
- Avoid walking or jogging alone, especially at night. Vary your route. Stay in well-traveled, well-lit areas.
- Have your key ready to use before you reach the door – home, car, or work.
- Park in well-lit areas and lock the car, even if you’ll only be gone a few minutes.
- Drive on well-traveled streets, with doors and windows locked.
- Never hitchhike or pick up a hitchhiker.
- Keep your car in good shape with plenty of gas in the tank.
- In case of car trouble, call for help on your cellular phone. If you don’t have a phone, put the hood up, lock the doors, and put a banner in the rear mirror that says, “Help. Call police.”
