''Strangers''
Français
MYTH:
"Sexual Assaults
are most often
committed by strangers."

FACT:
Although this does happen,
more than half of the sexual
assaults are committed by
someone the victim knows
and trusts.  Offenders include
dates, acquaintances, family
members, babysitters,
neighbours and others.
When the offender is known,
it is more difficult to name the
assault as a crime.
