What is sexual assault? - Amanda Bach - Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of this are voyeurism (when someone watches private sexual acts), exhibitionism (when someone exposes him/herself in public), incest (sexual contact between family members), and sexual harassment. It can happen in different situations, by a stranger in an isolated place, on a date, or in the home by someone you know.
 
"My spouse is physically abusive toward me and I am afraid he will hurt the children. I know I need to leave, but I don't know where to go."
