SAPR
Sexual Assault Prevention
and Response Program
 

Sexual Assault is a crime!  It is defined as the intentional
sexual contact, characterized by use of force, physical
 threat or abuse of authority or when the victim does not
or cannot consent. Sexual assault includes rape,
 non-consensual sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault
 (unwanted, inappropriate sexual contact or fondling) or
 attempts to commit these acts.

Victims of sexual assault have two reporting options:      

Restricted Reporting - Allows a sexual assault victim to confidentially disclose the details of his or her assault to specified individuals, receive medical treatment, a P.E.R.K (Physical Evidence Recovery Kit) and counseling, without triggering command notification or law enforcement investigation.

Unrestricted Reporting -This option is recommended for victims of sexual assault who desire an official law enforcement investigation. Additionally, the same support services (medical, counseling, P.E.R.K) are afforded to victims who chose this option as well as advocacy.  When selecting unrestricted reporting, victims should use current reporting channels, (UVA, chain of command, healthcare personnel, law enforcement or SARC). Details regarding the incident will be limited to only those personnel who have a legitimate need to know.

Please report all sexual assaults to your UVA or SARC.
