SEXUAL ASSAULT

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?

Sexual assault is when someone touches a sexual part of your body without your consent.

If someone pinches your nose or grabs your elbow, it's not sexual assault. Even if the touching is not consensual, it's not a sexual part of your body.

DATE RAPE: Use of drug such as GHB or Rohipnol to incapacitate before sexual activity.
