Sexual assault, a crime both horrific in its frequency and devastating in its consequences, continues to plague the United States. And the numbers are staggering. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women will experience completed or attempted rape in their lifetime. The U.S. Department of Justice further reports that over 430,000 individuals become victims of rape or sexual assault each year. What is particularly disturbing is that many of these attacks occur in locations where people expect to feel safe, such as apartment complexes, hotels, shopping centers and parking lots.
