当警察来的时候, they will first assess your medical needs to determine if you need to go to the hospital immediately. 然后，警官会开始询问你所发生的事情. Even though this is often difficult, it is necessary if a police report is to be completed. You have the option and right to request an advocate at any point within this process.

Keep in mind that you can take someone along with you to support you at the hospital. You also might consider having a victim’s advocate to accompany you and support you through the exam. 这是你的选择. Both CVPH in Plattsburgh and Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone have S.A.N.E (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) rooms and can help you through the process of collecting physical evidence while above all ensuring your safety and health.

The benefits of reporting the assault to the police are that the police can preserve evidence of the assault; the police can advise a reporting individual on safety planning techniques, 包括如何获得限制令和/或保护令. 校园安全, as well as the 第九条 Coordinator can issue an interim “No Contact Order”; the police can escort a reporting individual to obtain the necessary medical treatment; the police can inform the reporting individual of eligibility for state crime victim compensation funds (compensation for medical and dental expenses related to the crime; counseling, 工资损失, and other assistance); and the police will assist with prosecuting the accused, which can lead to punishment of the accused and protection of the reporting individual and others in the community from being victimized in the future. If individuals who commit sexual assault offenses are not apprehended and prosecuted, research demonstrates that they may continue to commit sexual offenses.

你不需要提交刑事报告. The decision whether to report the assault to the police is entirely your decision to make. 如果你选择不报警的话, you are still encouraged to obtain medical treatment and contact an advocate to assist you with recovering from this event. 另外, 校园安全 or the 第九条 Coordinator can assist you in filing a report to pursue campus judicial charges. The 第九条 Investigator can conduct an investigation and the accused student could face dismissal or suspension from campus. The reporting individual does not have to participate in the actual hearing in order for campus charges to move forward.

Individuals are responsible for their own conduct and will be held accountable, 这可能意味着被大学开除. 通过站出来, you are helping to prevent sexual assault from happening to other community members in the future and are not responsible for the initial conduct of said individual or the outcome.

No. The 第九条 Coordinator will assign the case to the 第九条 Investigator, who will serve as the individual presenting the information at a hearing.

Report the crime to campus safety and tell them you want no action to take place.

如果你不想报告的话, 但我想和某人私下谈谈, please contact the Counseling Center; off-campus advocates, 性侵犯服务1 (877)212-2323. Counselors on or off-campus can also help you determine whether what happened to you is sexual assault in a completely confidential environment. 您还可以选择不报告事件.

性侵犯是被禁止的行为, and the college has an obligation under the law and its policies to address assault and harassment when it happens to a member of the campus community. 第九条协调员追踪模式, 发病率, 并且必须在发生袭击事件时评估校园安全风险.
