Minimizing the assault can be a coping strategy. It might include survivors thinking that their abuse was not as bad as someone else's.

Sexual assault is a betrayal of trust. Most survivors find it difficult to trust other people as well as themselves and their own perceptions. On the other hand, they may place an inappropriate level of trust in everyone.

Many feel that they do not deserve support, that they are tainted, and that others will not want to be their friends or lovers. A survivor's culture and (lack of) community connections can, at times, compound feelings of isolation.

Isolation

Signs Of Abuse

We can recommend actions anyone can take to challenge sexual assault. The problem comes when people with power do not take victims seriously when they report sexual assault. Even when employees of institutions report that something is wrong, institutions will often move to protect their own interests and profits, at the expense of the victim's rights and safety.

A former correctional officer at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, CA is facing 78 charges of sexual misconduct with inmates. Gregory Rodriguez, who worked for the prison for 12 years, has been accused of assaulting a minimum of 22 female inmates and has an additional charge for smuggling contraband into the prison. The investigation into Rodriguez began in July of last year, and 13 victims have been identified thus far. Rodriguez is currently in custody at Madera County Jail and is scheduled for arraignment. 

If found guilty on all counts, he could potentially be sentenced to more than 300 years in prison. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of incarcerated women within the state's prison system.

In 2011, correctional administrators reported 8,768 allegations of sexual victimization in prisons, jails as well as other adult correctional facilities. That number tripled in 2015, to 24,661 reports. 58 percent of sexual victimization was perpetrated by members of the staff, and the remaining 42 percent involved inmate-on-inmate sexual violence. A study showed that 15 percent of staff members accused of sexual misconduct were allowed to keep their jobs Most victims are men since incarceration rates for them tend to be much higher than those for women.
