What is Sexual Assault?
Sexual abuse / sexual violence refers to a range of behaviors that are unwanted by the recipient and include remarks about physical appearance, persistent sexual advances that are undesired by the recipient, as well as unwanted touching and unwanted oral, anal, or vaginal penetration. These behaviors could be initiated by someone known or unknown to the recipient, including someone they are in a relationship with.
The Clark Student Code of Conduct describes sexual violence as "Sexual assault is any sexual contact or activity with a person that occurs without that persons consent. Consent is not implied or effective when physical or emotional harm or the threat of such harm exists. If the act occurs while the victim is unconscious, asleep or otherwise unable to communicate consent, then it is still considered sexual assault."
