ABSTRACT
Sexual assault (Kilpatrick, Edmunds, and Seymour, April 23, 1992) and abuse is any type of sexual activity to which the receiving individual does not agree. It can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to participate in unwanted sexual contact. In addition to actual rape (vaginal, anal, or oral penetration), unwanted sexual contact includes inappropriate touching, child molestation, voyeurism, exhibitionism, incest, and sexual harassment (Women’s Health, September 2010). Sexual assault is a crime.
