7. NRS 200.366
Nevada Revised Statutes: Sexual Assault
“A person who subjects another person to sexual
penetration, or who forces another person to make a
sexual penetration on himself or another, against the
victim’s will or under conditions in which the perpetrator
knows or should know that the victim is mentally or
physically incapable of resisting or understanding the
nature of his conduct, is guilty of sexual assault.”
8. NRS.200.364
SEXUAL ASSAULT AND SEDUCTION
NRS 200.364 Definitions. As used in NRS 200.364 to 200.3774, inclusive,
unless the context otherwise requires:
1. “Perpetrator” means a person who commits a sexual assault.
2. “Sexual penetration” means cunnilingus, fellatio, or any intrusion,
however slight, of any part of a
person’s body or any object manipulated or inserted by a person into the
genital or anal openings of the body of another, including sexual
intercourse in its ordinary meaning.
3. “Statutory sexual seduction” means:
(a) Ordinary sexual intercourse, anal intercourse, cunnilingus or fellatio
committed by a person 18 years of age or older with a person under the
age of 16 years; or
(b) Any other sexual penetration committed by a person 18 years of age
or older with a person under the age of 16 years with the intent of
arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust or passions or sexual desires
of either of the persons.
4. “Victim” means a person who is subjected to a sexual assault.
(Added to NRS by 1977, 1626; A 1979, 572; 1991, 801; 1995, 700)
NRS 200.368 Statutory sexual seduction: -- most states have a statute
referred to commonly as "Contributing to the Delinquency of a Child".
This can be used as a catch-all when the standard "statutory age of
sexual consent" does not apply.
9. Trauma Informed Practice
Victim Centered Response
Who knows better what’s going on?
Who is going to have to deal with this immediately, and
for the rest of their lives?
What’s the Reporting Process Like?
What’s MY role?
10. When Someone Says
They Experience Abuse…
BELIEVE THEM It is not your role to question whether a rape occurred, but to be there to ease the pain. The fact is
that false rape reports are no more nor less common than false reports for other violent crimes.
LISTEN TO THEM It is crucial that you let survivors know that they can talk to you. When that happens, don’t
interrupt, yell, or inject your feelings. Your caring but silent attention will be invaluable.
NEVER BLAME THEM No one ever deserves to be raped. No matter what they wore, how many times they had sex
before, whether they were walking alone at night, whether they got drunk, if they were married, or whether they went
to the perpetrators room. Even if the survivor feels responsible, say clearly and caringly that being reaped wasn’t their
fault.
ASK BEFORE YOU TOUCH Don’t assume that physical contact, even in the form of a gentle hug or touch, will be
comforting to a survivor. Be patient, give them the space they need and try your best not to take it personally.
GET HELP FOR YOURSELF Self-Care is extremely important. Feelings of shock, anxiety, helplessness, and
confusion can be common, and can be addressed to help you cope with the work of being a mandated reporter.

14. When is a relationship abusive?
Many different forms of violence in a relationship
Often are dismissed as “isolated” or “random” acts of
anger
Media images contribute to a social complicity of
violence and often portrays signs of violence in
relationships as signals of “passion” or “lust”
Abuse may take years to become acute
Signs of abuse overlap and escalate
15. Many Forms of Abuse
Physical battering – can range from pushing or
bruising to murder. Escalates in level of abuse

harassment, excessive possessiveness, economic
resource limiting and destruction of personal
property

22. Reporting Protocol
Go to a safe place
Seek medical attention immediately.
University Medical Center (UMC) is the only hospital that will do a rape kit. You may
be injured more seriously than you realize. Medical evidence will be needed, if you
decide to press charges.
Call University Police (895-3668) or CALL 911.
Reporting is not the same as pressing charges.
Do not blame yourself-you are the victim of a crime.
Do NOT bathe, shower, douche, or change clothes until you have talked with the police or
nurse.
However, if you have already done these things, please do not let his stop you from
seeking medical care. If you’ve changed clothes, place the clothes you were wearing in
a paper bag and them to the hospital with you.
Remember you may have an advocate to help every step of the way

Editor's Notes
THANK EVERYONE, Define “Safe Space” and ‘triggers’
Some of what we’ll be covering… If anyone is triggered, no worries… Think about participating in our activity at the end and we’ll ask for volunteers…
Who knows better? The victim. Whats MY role? To believe the victim and take the best course of action for them. Including bowing out. Just make informed decisions.
Cultural Competency – Where are services available, transportation IS an issue.
