If you are unsure about making a police report
If you are undecided about making a police report, talking about your concerns with a rape counselor or a victim advocate can be very helpful.

When you call a rape crisis center or a hotline, you can talk with a counselor and still remain anonymous if you do not give the counselor your name or your telephone number. The counselor can give you information that may help you make a decision about filing a police report. The counselor can also refer you to other victim assistance services.

In most communities, you can find rape counselors or advocates at a rape crisis center, another victim services agency, or through a hotline. Look in the telephone yellow pages under "Rape," or ask the Directory Assistance operator for the number. You can also call RAINN, a national victim assistance agency, at 1-800-656-HOPE. RAINN will connect you to a rape crisis center in your area. Most rape crisis centers do not charge for counseling or advocacy services.
