Reporting: Sexual Assault, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence and Stalking
Cuesta College does not tolerate sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking in any form .
It is not your fault!
If you are a survivor of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, you have the option to report this crime to law enforcement authorities or not. The Cuesta College Police Department will assist you in notifying the proper law enforcement authority where the crime occurred, whether or not it occurred on campus. We will also assist you in obtaining other resources to assist and support you.
Cuesta College strongly encourages all members of the campus community who believe they are victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking to immediately report the incident. Timely reporting is an important factor in the subsequent investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases should the survivor desire to do so.
We recommend the following steps after an assault:
Call an advocate, counselor, friend, family member, or someone you trust for support and assistance.
