If You Choose Not to File a Police Report After a Sexual Assault

The victim is strongly encouraged to file a police report, but the choice is theirs. If the choice is not to file a report, there are still resources available and precautions that ought to take. The victim may speak with a member of the Trinity Sexual Assault Response Team for support and answers to questions. A call may also be placed to the Lake County Rape Crisis Hotline (847.872.7799).

A physical exam is still needed to check for internal injuries, for STDs, and pregnancy. For a minimal fee, medical professional at Trinity Health Services (ext. 6699) may be seen. A physical exam may also be obtained at Condell Medical Center in Buffalo Grove (847.362.2900). If transportation or fees are a problem, contact a member of the Emergency Response Team.
