Central MN Sexual Assault Center Providing 24-hour crisis response services to people affected by s*xual violence in Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Wright Counties.

https://linktr.ee/cmsac - https://m.cmpgn.page/BXr6Xx?embed=4&script=0 Sexual assault can happen to anyone, anywhere; regardless of age, ethnicity, economic status, lifestyle, religion, culture, s*xual orientation, gender, or ability. Sexual assault is s*xual contact made without someone's consent. It can be terrifying, humiliating, and confusing. Childhood s*xual abuse, date/acquaintance s*xual assault, same gender s*xual assault, s*xual harassment, s*xual exploitation, and human trafficking are some examples of s*xual violence. Consent means words or actions by a person indicating a freely given present agreement to perform a s*xual act with the actor. Sexual assault is illegal s*xual contact that is inflicted against a person without their consent or against a person who is incapable of giving consent. Did You Know?

- The vast majority of s*xual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows.

- Under Minnesota law, the county in which the s*xual assault occurred is responsible for the cost of collecting evidence during your medical examination at the hospital. The county is responsible for payment; regardless of whether or not you report to law enforcement.

- If the s*xual assault happened within 120 hours (5 days), it is recommended you seek services at a local hospital emergency room.

- In the state of Minnesota, stalking is against the law. Stalking has many of the same effects as s*xual assault.

- Safe Harbor Law: Any Minnesota youth 17 and under who agree to engage or are forced to engage in s*xual contact or s*xually explicit imagery/videos are eligible for services and protection from the law. Youth involved in the s*x industry are considered crime victims instead of criminals. This may include participation in prostitution-related activity, "survival s*x", exotic dancing, or po*******hy in exchange for a place to stay, food, transportation, drugs, alcohol, or something of value (or the promise of).

Sometimes, the most meaningful thing you can do is simply show up for someone who needs support.

CMSAC is looking for compassionate community members to become volunteer advocates and help support survivors of s*xual violence.

You don't need to have all the answers. You need a willingness to listen, learn, and support others without judgment.

Volunteer advocates must complete a 40-hour training before providing advocacy services.

Could you be the next member of our volunteer team?

Contact CMSAC at https://cmsac.org/volunteer-application/ or call 320-251-4357 to learn more!
