This page gives more information on what you can expect if you wish to:
- Make a police report of sexual assault or sexual harassment,
- File a Magistrate’s Complaint of non-physical sexual harassment, or
- Learn about what a ‘rape kit’ examination is.
These can lead to criminal proceedings. This means that the perpetrator may be tried in court for a crime. If found guilty, they may face punishment (jail, fine and/or caning, depending on the crime).
Other kinds of complaints may also be suitable for your case.
- For an overview of all kinds of complaints you could make, visit our page on filing a complaint.
- This page gives information on using the Protection from Harassment Act (for cases of physical or non-physical sexual harassment).
- This page (on the AWARE website) gives information on getting Personal Protection Orders (for cases of sexual assault or sexual harassment from a family member).
A befriender can accompany those who need to talk to the police or go to hospitals or the courts. Call us (6779 0282) or email us at sacc@aware.org.sg for more details.
