Show All Answers
1.
Do I need to report this sex assault to law enforcement?
If it is child sexual abuse, yes.
If it is an adult, no.
However, you have the option of being examined at a hospital with a SANE program where you will be examined (at no cost to you) for any injury and given treatment and information re: STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and/or pregnancy. Evidence is collected and is held for up to two years. If you chose to report at any time during this 2-year period the evidence will be handed over to the law enforcement agency where the crime occurred per your instructions.
You may also call the Mountain Peace Shelter, (303) 838-8181 for confidential assistance with this process.

What is SANE?
SANE (Sex Assault Nurse Examiner) is specifically trained to examine sexual assault victims for injuries, collect evidence (forensic evidence), provide medications to prevent sexually transmitted infection and give information to prevent pregnancy.

Who pays for the sex assault exams?
The sex assault exam and evidence collection is paid for by the Park County Sheriff’s Office. Additional charges for medical treatment and counseling may be covered by Victim Compensation. All Victim Advocates are able to assist you in this process. If you choose to not report to Law Enforcement, the exam will be paid for by the Department of Criminal Justice.
