Sexual Assault Information
If you have been sexually assaulted, the first priority is your
immediate safety.
WHAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT?
Sexual assault is a violation of Nevada state law. Sexual assault
is an act in which a person subjects another person to sexual
penetration, or who forces another person to make a sexual
penetration on himself or another, or on a beast, against the
will of the victim or under conditions in which the perpetrator
knows or should know that the victim is mentally or physically
incapable of resisting or understanding the nature of his
conduct (NRS 200.366).
Sexual Assault violates not only a person’s body, but also their
sense of safety and control over their life. No one deserves to be
sexually assaulted!
WHO ARE THE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT?
Anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, regardless of age,
race, socioeconomic status, cultural background, religion,
marital status, physical or mental ability, gender or sexual
orientation. A person can be assaulted by their spouse. One out
of every three women will be assaulted at least once in their
lifetime. One out of every four girls and one out of every six
boys will be assaulted before their 18th birthday (Retrieved on
