If you've been sexually assaulted it's important to remember that it was not your fault.
Sexual violence is a crime, no matter who commits it or where it happens.
Sex without consent is rape - anything less than a yes is a no.
Don't be afraid to get help. You don't have to report the assault to the police if you don't want to.
You may need time to think about what has happened to you.
