b. Preserve all physical evidence. If possible, do not bathe, douche, eat, drink,
smoke, urinate, brush your teeth, or change your clothes. Do not disturb
anything in the area where the assault occurred. If you have changed your
clothes, take the clothes you were wearing at the time of the incident to the
hospital.
c. Seek medical attention. You may have sustained injuries from the attack or
contracted a sexually transmitted disease. The cadet health center will be able
to assist you with making follow-up appointments. During non-business
hours or for the purpose of evidence collection, the local hospital emergency
room is preferred. Emergency room personnel can treat you not only for
injuries and sexually transmitted diseases, but also gather physical evidence in
the event criminal and/or civil charges are filed.
d. Seek follow-up counseling. Whether or not you report the assault or
prosecute, a trained counselor can help deal with the emotional trauma of an
assault.

activities that are sexual in nature should be reported as soon as possible so that an immediate
assessment of the situation can be made and appropriate measures may be taken. Students,
faculty, and staff are encouraged to immediately report any violation of the laws, regulations,
