Celine was sexually assaulted. What should she do immediately?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Celine should immediately report the crime to the authorities and seek medical attention. It is important to gather evidence and receive medical treatment as soon as possible after a sexual assault. Waiting can decrease the chances of gathering evidence and increase the risk of additional harm or infection. Asking others if they witnessed the event may also be helpful, but it should not be prioritized over reporting the crime and seeking medical attention. Thoroughly washing herself and her clothes may also destroy evidence needed for investigation and prosecution. Considering if she is responsible for the assault is not a feasible option as no victim is ever responsible for the actions of their perpetrator.
