What is male sexual assault?
Male sexual assault is when you have been forced to take part in any sexual act with another man or woman which you did not willingly consent to. Even if you did not fight back or resist at the time of the attack, it is still assault.
Who can it happen to?
Quite simply, anyone. It could have happened whilst you were a child or a teenager, or as an adult. It is not a “gay crime” – it happens to more straight men than gay.
How common is it?
It’s much more common than most people think. Research statistics tell us that almost 3% of men have reported a non-consensual sexual experience as adults and over 5% of men have reported sexual abuse as a child.
