• It is recommend you do not change clothes, but if you feel you must, bring soiled clothing in a paper bag--not plastic
• Do not eat or drink anything
• Do not shower, brush your teeth or use mouthwash
• Do not take or apply any type of medication to any injuries
• Do not use the bathroom, but if you must, bring urine for testing in a plastic or glass container
• Do not disturb or clean up the crime scene

Sexual Assault is criminal conduct that falls well short of the standards America expects of its men and women in uniform and is a violation of our Air Force Core Values.

Sexual Assault is defined as intentional sexual conduct, characterized by use of force, physical threat or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. Sexual assault includes rape, nonconsensual sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault (unwanted, inappropriate sexual contact or fondling), or attempts to commit these acts. Sexual assault can occur without regard to gender or spousal relationship or age of victim.

Consent shall not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the victim to offer physical resistance. Consent is not given when a person uses force, threat of force, coercion or when the victim is asleep, incapacitated, or unconscious.
