Sexual Assault occurs when sexual contact is
non-consensual. NO/STOP means NO consent.
Consensual: an individual is a willing participant in
the sex act.
 Non-consensual: An individual is unable to give
consent if:




incapacitated by the influence of drugs or alcohol
suffer from a mental or physical disorder that makes
them incapable of offering consent
acting under threats, duress or force
NOTE: Consent to sexual contact is not implied because
of prior consent, and a relationship between partners,
such a marriage or formal dating relationship, does not
imply or create consent for sexual contact.
 Dating
Violence is violence committed by a
person:


who is or has been in a social relationship of a
romantic or intimate nature with the victim; and
where the existence of such a relationship shall
be determined based on consideration of the
following factors:

the parties

violence committed by a current or former
spouse of the victim, or by a person

domestic or family violence laws
or by any other person against an adult or youth
victim who is protected from that person’s acts
by domestic or family violence laws.
 Stalking
is engaging in a course of conduct
directed at a specific person that would
cause a reasonable person to:


fear for his or her safety or the safety of others,
or
suffer substantial emotional distress.
