If You Have Suffered, You Are Not Alone
If you or your loved one has been the victim of a sexual assault it is important to remember that you are not alone. A 2001 study of Washington State women found more than 1-in-3 reported that they have been victims of sexual assault/abuse at some point in their lifetime. National statistics say that 1-in-5 boys are sexually assaulted before age 16. All types of people experience sexual assault/abuse.
No matter what—you are not to blame and there is help available. We hope you will find the answers to some of your questions throughout this web site.
