What To Do if You Are the Victim of a Rape

  • Go to a friend's house. You should not be alone at such a difficult time. Go somewhere where you feel safe.
  • Seek medical attention right away. Do not wash or change clothes, this will result in a loss of evidence should you choose to press charges. You may have sustained internal injuries so it is very important to get checked out.
  • File a report with police. You can change your mind and choose not to press charges in the future.
  • Get help and support, such as counseling.
