Sexual Misconduct: Definitions & What to Do
South Central College cares about your safety and well-being — if you are a victim of sexual assault, domestic violence, or stalking, know that this is not your fault and we are here to help.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is an actual, attempted, or threatened sexual act with another person without that person's consent. Sexual assault includes, but is not limited to:
- Non-consensual sexual acts in which there is force (expressed or implied)
- Forced sexual intercourse (including stranger, date, acquaintance, or marital rape)
- Intentional and unwelcome touching, or coercing, forcing, or attempting to coerce or force another to touch a person's intimate parts
- Offensive sexual behavior directed at another, such as indecent exposure or voyeurism
- Non-forcible sexual acts where consent is not relevant, such as sexual contact with an individual under the statutory age of consent
Affirmative Consent
Consent is informed, freely given, and mutually understood willingness to participate in sexual activity, expressed by clear, unambiguous, and affirmative words or actions. It is the responsibility of the person who wants to engage in sexual activity to ensure the other person has consented. Consent must be present throughout the entire sexual activity and can be revoked at any time.
If coercion, intimidation, threats, or physical force are used, there is no consent. If a person is mentally or physically incapacitated or impaired — including due to alcohol or drug consumption, or being asleep or unconscious — there is no consent. A lack of protest, absence of resistance, or silence alone does not constitute consent. Past consent does not imply ongoing future consent. The existence of a dating or past sexual relationship does not provide a basis for an assumption of consent.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence includes physical harm or abuse, and threats of physical harm or abuse, arising out of a personal intimate relationship. This includes dating/relationship violence and spousal/partner abuse.
Stalking
Stalking is conduct directed at a specific person that is unwanted, unwelcome, or unreciprocated and that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety or the safety of others, or to suffer substantial emotional distress.
What to Do
During or right after an incident, dial 911 for immediate assistance.
