Get help now: You should report this as soon as possible. Tell family and friends immediately, and inform law enforcement at the same time. Family and friends can be helpful during the most difficult early moments after an assault. This is very important for the following reasons: to keep the same person from assaulting others, to provide psychological closure for you, to rule out medical problems. Best wishes
