No one expects to be in the position of dealing with the aftermath of an attack, so here’s what you need to know.
-Find a safe location away from the perpetrator. Ask a close friend to be with you for support.
-If you are still in the location where you were raped (for example, if it happened in your apartment or dorm room), don’t clean, straighten up, or remove anything.
-Report the crime to law enforcement, campus police, or a trusted school administrator.
-Don’t take a shower, wash your hands, brush your teeth, eat, or smoke.
-Preserve all evidence of the attack—don’t wash your clothing or sheets, etc.
-Write down all the details you can recall about the attack and the perpetrator.
