Tip:
Only hospital emergency rooms can collect physical evidence of sexual assault. Therefore, your best source of immediate medical help is your nearest hospital emergency room. All hospitals are required by law to report to the police any injury that is the result of a crime. This does not obligate you to file formal charges.

Preserving Physical Evidence

Even if you do not think you want to pursue legal action, preserving evidence keeps your options open in case you change your mind later.

To preserve evidence, do not shower, douche, or change clothes or bedding before you seek medical attention. Also, if oral contact took place, do not brush teeth, smoke, or eat.
