If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, call 740-597-SAFE (7233)

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Strangers

Myth or Fact?:

Most sexual assault offenders are strangers.

Answer

MYTH! The truth is, most sexual assaults are assaults in which the victim knows the attacker (referred to as non-stranger or acquaintance assaults). Close to 80% of all rapes are acquaintace (or non-stranger) rapes.
