Victims of Sexual Abuse, Rape, Incest, & Sex-Based Offenses
- Every person is a potential victim of rape or sexual assault. Reported victims rage in age from several months to 100 years. No age group is immune.
- All persons, regardless of race or age..regardless of social or economic status....regardless of lifestyle...and regardless of gender...are potential victims of rapists.
- The most vulnerable target is a solitary woman, especially at night or if she is impared by drugs, alcohol or medical situations.
- Most often, the assailant is someone that the victim knows closely or casually, including friends, family members, teachers, coaches, co-workers, ANYONE.
