Not Report to the Police. You may want to consider writing down as many details as you can recall about the assault and the perpetrator, in case you decide to report at a later time.
Talk with people who you feel will support you. Sometimes it can help to talk to someone. You may want to talk to a friend, relative, counselor, or someone else you feel close to.
Confront the perpetrator. You may want to consider seeking support or from someone you trust and who has shown you support about how best to do this to ensure your safety and well-being.
