What to do?

A person who experienced an incident of sexual misconduct is encouraged to take the following immediate actions:

• Contact the Germanna Police Department or other law enforcement
• Seek medical attention
• Seek counseling
• Contact parents, relatives, or close friends for support
• Report the incident through the Incident Reporting link on the Germanna homepage

You don’t have to choose a course of action immediately, but consider preserving evidence in case you choose to pursue charges. Possible evidence might be clothing, bedding, letters, photos, emails, texts, etc.

What to know?

You set the pace.

You have the right to choose to whom you will speak, what resources you will use, what you will say, and when you will say it.

There are many resources available to help you, both at Germanna and in the community (see reverse side).

It is your choice whether to name the other person(s) or not.

Your information will be kept private and only shared with those who “need to know.” We want to take care of you and keep you safe, and we want to make sure that others in the community are safe.
