Sexual Violence

Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual contact or sexual attention using force, threats, bribes, manipulation, pressure, tricks, or physical force or violence.

  • It is never your fault. It doesn’t matter if you said “yes” first then changed your mind, or if you were drunk.
  • It doesn’t matter how long ago it happened. We are here to help.
  • Even if you don’t want to report to the police you can still get a medical exam, treatment for STDs, injuries, or potential pregnancy.
  • CNVC advocates can go with you and support you through peer counseling, medical-legal exam, police interviews, and in court.
  • Everything you say to us when no one else is in the room is confidential. We cannot tell anyone else anything without your permission in writing.
  • We will never tell you what to do. We will give you choices and you can decide what you want to do.
