What to Do If You or Someone You Know Has Been Sexually Assaulted

- Get to a safe place. If someone poses an immediate danger to you or anyone else, alert the police as soon as possible.
- Call 911 for an emergency or call 785-532-6412 if it is not an emergency.
- Once safe, call someone you trust and ask them to stay with you.
- Go to the nearest medical facility/emergency room. Specially trained medical professionals can perform a post-sexual assault exam at Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan through a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. It is important to seek appropriate medical attention to ensure your health and well-being, as well as to preserve any physical evidence. If you suspect you may have been given a drug, ask the hospital or clinic where you receive medical care to take a urine sample. The urine sample should be preserved as evidence.
- 你应该采取措施保存任何物证，因为这将是证明家庭暴力犯罪的必要条件, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, or to obtain a protective order. If the police are notified, they may be able to provide you with some further assistance. Prior to going to a medical facility/Emergency Room you are also encouraged to:
- Not wash your hands, bathe, or douche. Do not urinate, if possible.
- Not eat, blow your nose, drink liquids, smoke, or brush your teeth if oral contact took place.
- Keep the clothing worn when the incident occurred. If you change clothing, place the worn clothing in a paper bag.
- 在执法人员有机会收集证据之前，不要销毁在事件附近可能发现的任何物证，也不要清理或整理犯罪现场.
- Tell someone all the details you remember and write them down as soon as possible.
- Maintain text messages, pictures, online postings, video and other documentary or electronic evidence that may corroborate a complaint.
- For professional and confidential support, call a confidential source, such as C.A.R.E., at 785-532-6444; help is available 24 hours a day. Other similar resources include the Office of Student Life, 24 hours a day at 785-532-6432 and the Counseling Center at 785-532-6927. 请注意，根据PPM 3010, CARE员工不是需要报告歧视的负责任员工, 但如果校园社区面临迫在眉睫或持续的威胁，他们可能有其他报告义务. CARE advocates' confidentiality is adhered to, to the greatest extent possible, 但这与提供执业咨询服务的人享有的受法律保护的特权不同.
