You may file a report of sexual assault with police (either with Los Rios Police Department or local law enforcement) or your college Title IX officer.
When you report sexual assault, you will be informed of your right to file criminal charges and given information about support services.
If you were assaulted while violating a college policy or a criminal statute (such as drinking alcohol on campus), then please do not let it stop you from reporting the assault. Unless a violation is extreme, we will not discipline you.
