Welcome to the Inter-Cooperative Council Sexual Harassment Resource Team Wiki

 

What to do if you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted (or suspected) in the past 72 hours

Sexual Assault is a very traumatic experience and it is a crime. Even though you may not be sure whether you are going to prosecute at this time, collecting evidence is critical and is time sensitive. If you are not sure whether you were sexually assaulted or not, we still encourage you to come to the Hospital's Emergency Room for examination. The following points are critical:

  • Do not eat or drink

  • Do not change you clothes

  • If you did change your clothes, do not wash them, place in a brown paper bag and bring items with you to the ER.

  • Do not shower or bathe.

  • Do not use toilet tissue when urinating; use the underwear that you have on.

  • Try not to urinate in the event that you were given a drug prior to the assault, or bring the urine with you in a clean container.

How to Report

  • Report the sexual assault to the police agency in the county where the assault has occurred.

  • Report the sexual assault in the county where you live.

  • Call 911 and report the sexual assault.

  • Go to an Emergency Department at any Hospital.

  • Emergency Contacts:

      • Domestic Violence Project/SAFE House: 734-995-5444

      • Ann Arbor Police/Ypsilanti Police: 911 (from a non-campus phone)

      • U-M Department of Public Safety: 911 (from a U-M campus phone)

      • U-M Hospital Emergency Room: 734-936-6666

      • U-M Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC): 734-936-3333

      • St. Joseph Mercy Hospital: 734-712-3000

What to Report

  • Your legal name

  • The name of the person who has sexually assaulted you

  • A specific address where the assault took place

  • Date and time the assault took place

     

What to do if your assault took place greater than 72 hours

  • For health care concerns, follow up with your primary care doctor or a local clinic for STD testing, medical treatment or other needs.

  • For legal support, report to law enforcement as indicated above.

  • For counseling, contact Safe House Center, LACASA, UM Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Center, or your local mental health provider.

  • Patients who are 18 years and younger, who have been assaulted, greater than 72 hours should result in a phone call to the University of Michigan’s Child Protection Team (CPT 734-763-0215) or the Social Worker on-call (734-936-4000). If you are uncertain of the time frame you would follow this same procedure.
