What to do if you’re a victim of sexual assault
If something happened and you’re not sure what to do next, this page offers clear information and options for care, support, and safety.
If you’ve experienced sexual violence, support is available. You can talk with someone at the Sex Abuse Treatment Center (SATC) by calling the 24-hour hotline at 808-524-7273, or by using web chat (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m., excluding holidays). You don’t have to go through this alone.
Sexual violence is broadly defined as any forced, tricked, or coerced sexual activity.
There are options available
Sexual violence can affect anyone and may involve sexual activity without consent, including situations where someone is pressured, forced, or unable to consent due to age, disability, or substances. If this has happened to you, SATC offers supportive services and resources to help you navigate what comes next at your own pace.
