What Should I Do If I Am Assaulted On My Campus?

It is normal to feel frightened, overwhelmed and confused after a sexual assault. However, if you can, try to follow these steps:

  1. After a sexual assault, the first thing you should do is get somewhere safe, if possible.
  2. If you feel comfortable, seek medical attention. This step is important for gathering evidence, including DNA from the perpetrator.
  3. Consult an attorney who can help you file criminal charges and a Title IX complaint.

By following these steps, you can often significantly strengthen your chances of securing justice in a future civil claim or criminal case.

What Is Title IX?

In 1972, the Department of Education passed Title IX to prevent sex-based discrimination against students enrolled in federally funded education programs. Under Title IX, any college or university that receives federal funding must investigate stalking, sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations. If you suffered any one of these crimes, your school has a legal obligation to investigate your claim. If not, it could lose its federal funding.

Conversely, schools sometimes take an approach that is too zealous, which results in the punishment of students who were wrongfully accused. If you face false accusations of sexual misconduct, Ms. DiMare can defend you during the Title IX investigation.
