Many students do not know where to turn for help or what steps to take after an assault has been committed. Although the choices about which option to explore rest solely with the affected student, St. Ambrose encourages students to take the following steps:
If at all possible, do not change clothes, shower, bathe, douche, or urinate. Emergency room personnel are trained to check for injuries, as well as collect the physical evidence necessary for the proof of criminal sexual assault, should you decide to pursue charges through the Davenport Police Department. Please be aware that hospital personnel are obligated to contact both the police and the QC Rape/Sexual Assault Counseling & Advocacy Program (R/SACAP).
Although you are not obligated to do so, victims or sexual assault are highly encouraged to take advantage of R/SACAP's free and confidential services to help you understand your options for off-campus proceedings and to receive counseling specific to your needs. Additionally, you may choose to speak with an outside advocate through Family Resources.
If you know someone who has been raped, here are some ways you can help.
As a man, you can be sexually assaulted by an acquaintance. You may be pressured or forced into unwanted sex by a friend, relative, date or other acquaintance. If this happens to you, you are entitled to the same services and legal remedies as any other victim.
If you are sexually assaulted, you may fear that your masculinity is in question. You may ask: Why couldn't I protect myself? Has this ever happened to any other man? If the attacker is a female, you may fear that no one would believe your story or that you would be laughed at.It's important to remember that sexual assault is a crime. You are not at fault. You are entitled to support--to medical care, legal assistance and counseling. You may want to call a rape crisis center for help in getting these services.
