SECTION 3. (SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMIZATION)
This section asks about times when you may have experienced unwanted sexual contact. In these
questions, unwanted sexual contact is sexual contact that you did not consent to and that you did not
want to happen. Remember that sexual contact includes touching of your sexual body parts, oral sex,
anal sex, sexual intercourse, and penetration of your vagina or anus with a finger or object.
Unwanted sexual contact could happen when:
•

someone touches or grabs your sexual body parts (e.g., your butt, breasts, or crotch);

•

someone uses force against you, such as holding you down with his or her body weight, pinning
your arms, hitting or kicking you;

•

someone threatens to hurt you or someone close to you; or

•

you are unable to provide consent because you are incapacitated, passed out, unconscious,
blacked out, or asleep. This could happen after you voluntarily used alcohol or drugs, or after
you were given a drug without your knowledge or consent.

Please keep in mind that anyone – regardless of gender – can experience unwanted sexual contact. Also,
the person who does this could be a stranger or someone you know, such as a friend, family member, or
person you were dating or hanging out with.
When you answer the questions in this section, please count any experience of unwanted sexual contact
since the beginning of the current academic year, regardless of where it happened.
