Sexual assault occurs more often than you might think.

We talked to Nicole Jones, program director for Safe Family Services in the San Diego Youth Services, about what students need to be aware of.

13% of students report experiencing sexual assault on campus

18-24 The age when most sexual assaults occur in young adults

4.1% of undergraduate students report experiencing rape

>6% The amount of men who experience attempted or completed sexual assault in college

Many stats about sexual assaults are likely lower than the reality since these are predicted to be underreported.

10.3% The amount of women who experience completed sexual assault in college

Silence does not mean yes. Only yes means yes.

8 The amount of rapes out of 10 in which the perpetrator was someone known to the victim

Sexual assault is NOT a gender-specific issue!

If you are sexually assaulted, it is important to get help as soon as you can. In order to get the best and fastest help, do not change clothes or shower until after a forensic exam.
