| According to the Department of Justice National Crime Victimization Survey, more than 248,000 rapes or sexual assaults occurred in 2002. This translates into an act of rape or sexual assault almost every two minutes. The lives of rape victims are forever changed by this devastating and all-too-frequent crime. Rape is a unique crime: because it violates a person's trust and feeling of safety, the victim often suffers as profoundly during the aftermath as during the crime itself. |
