There have been many questions lately
concerning sexual assault which indicate that the broad majority of
people are largely ignorant about sexual assault issues. This is sadly
representative of the greater community (wherever you live). For those
people who have an opinion on sexual assault, or think they may have
been sexually assaulted, this article is for you.
Firstly, a quick analysis of the components of sexual assault:
1.An act of indecent sexual behavior: this can be anything from
indecent exposure, cunnilingus, looking at pictures to full blown
penetrative sex (either anal or vaginal). For any Aussies reading this,
refer to Part 3 of the Crimes Act 1900.
2.Lack of consent: while the most obvious lack of consent is verbal
(spoken), you can have implied lack of consent too. Think of a situation
where a woman is being raped by an abusive man; she may not want to say
no but she just lies there and cries.
3.Consent can be withdrawn at any time during the act: therefore, even
if you consented initially, you can still withdraw consent before the
man ejaculates. For example, you might have consented initially, but
then he becomes rough and abusive so you withdraw consent by saying
'no'. If he continues it is legally classified as sexual assault or
rape.
4.Consent is
subjective: meaning that it is something that the person and that person
alone feels. Not how a reasonable person would act in the same
situation.
Secondly, there
are published facts about sexual assault that would be beneficial to
mention. Please note that I have not just made these up but they are
based on other people's extensive research on sexual assault.
Methodologies such as surveys, victimization reports, police data, focus
groups etc were used to collect this information. Moreover, this
information is reasonably representative of Western communities, but the
statistics are higher in non-Western communities such as Africa for
example.
•80-90% of sexual assault is against females in the age bracket of 15-30
•90-99% of offenders are male, with a median age of approximately 33.
•Approximately 60% of assaults are by a person known to the victim
•60-70%
of assaults by known assailants occurred in the home. 55% of assaults
committed by a stranger still occurred in the home. Please note, however
that it may not be your home where the assaults are occurring, but a
residential setting nonetheless.
•99% of assaults do not involve a weapon of any kind
•85-90% of sexual assaults go unreported
Thirdly, there are several myths about sexual assault which need to be dispelled:
1.The
woman 'asked for it': This is never accurate. No matter what she was
wearing, whether they were in a stable relationship or not, a woman
never asks to be assaulted. If it feels wrong, it is wrong.
2.Rape happens because men can't control their sexual urges: There
is no evidence suggesting that men can't control their urges and the
vast majority of sexual assault is about control and power over another
person not sexual desire.
3.Sexual assault is about sexual urges: Sexual assault is about violence, anger and power, not passion.
4.Sexual offenders are 'creepy': There is no way to 'spot' a sex
offender and they come from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
5.Women often report rape to 'get even': only 2% of reported assaults
are 'false' and keep in mind that only 10-15% of sexual assaults get
reported.

So
please, for the people that like to get on their high horse about rape,
make sure your facts are accurate. And for the ladies (or men) that
have been sexually assaulted, please report it. It was not your fault
and people will not judge you for being assaulted in any way shape or
form. Just because you have been assaulted does not make you into a
slut, no matter what anyone says.
Sexual
assault happens. It happens to smart people, dumb people, sexually
promiscuous people or virgins. It can happen to children or
grandparents, men or women. There is no need to further shackle people
with false, misleading and misguided information as it just perpetuates a
level of acceptance.
