Types of Sexual Assault
Sexual assault can include:
- Any non-consensual touch or contact
- When someone uses a position of power to coerce a sexual encounter or relationship
- When someone uses the threat of violence to coerce a sexual encounter or relationship
- Verbal or written sexual advances or suggestions
- Consensual encounters that continue after you’ve said “stop” or “no”
- And many others
