About Sexual Assault
Sexual assault essentially any sort of sexual contact or behavior that is unwanted and/or nonconsensual. The most common examples of sexual assault include the following: fondling or groping (unwanted sexual touching); attempted rape; rape; forcing the victim to perform any sort of sexual acts (including oral sex).
Unfortunately, most acts that can be classified under the umbrella of sexual assault are committed by someone that the victim knows. In many cases, this is a person in some sort of position of authority over the victim. This could include teachers/coaches at schools (teacher against student), caretakers or nurses at nursing homes or elderly care centers, nurses or other staff at hospitals, and even supervisors/managers in the workplace.
The Physical, Mental, and Emotional Harm Resulting from Sexual Assault
Without a doubt, sexual assault can have devastating consequences. Many physical injuries are possible, some of which could include damage to internal organs (specifically to reproductive organs), injuries to genitals, sexually transmitted infections, lacerations, bruises, scrapes, and fractures, for instance. Sexual assault is also often associated with extensive mental and emotional harm. Victims of sexual assault are likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, fear, and depression, for instance. Regardless of the physical, mental, and emotional harm that you suffered after your sexual assault, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible to explore the legal options available to you.
