What is sexual assault
What is sexual assault — and how does KCSARC help?
Sexual assault is any sexual contact or behavior that occurs without expressed consent. That includes rape, child sexual abuse, groping, and other behaviors.

Our Therapy Services
Building resilience in recovery, one session at a time
There are many different approaches to therapy. Most people have the idea that all therapy looks like what they see depicted on shows, or even what they have experienced for generalized conditions. But KCSARC's approach is unique and specific to addressing trauma.
Legal Advocacy: We’re with you, every step of the way
KCSARC’s Legal Advocacy team is the liaison between survivors and our criminal justice system. The Advocacy program assists survivors of sexual assault and their families as they navigate one of the most complex systems and processes they’ll ever face. KCSARC provides 90% of sexual assault legal advocacy services in King County, working across three different court systems and 39 police jurisdictions.
Justice system must work for all survivors
We agree with and support the call to challenge the injustice and systemic racism in our criminal justice system and to make long overdue investments in the Black community. We believe Black lives matter, and we stand with Black, Indigenous and other people of color.
As elected officials make decisions about police funding, they must offer a clear vision of how changes will affect sexual assault victims who are participating in the criminal justice system.
