They provide specialized care for victims and have a specialized knowledge of the legal system and skills in injury identification, evaluation, and documentation. If possible, have the exam completed within 120 hours (5 days) of the assault.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Where do I get a forensic medical exam?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<p>It is important that you receive treatment at a facility where the staff is trained to provide care for sexual assault and intimate partner survivors and know the correct methods for evidence collection. Currently, SANE nurses are available through the Mary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marywashingtonhealthcare.com\/Our-Services\/Emergency-Services\/Mary-Washington-ER.aspx\">Mary Washington Hospital Emergency Room<\/a>: 540-741-1000 or 911 (police emergencies).<\/p>\n<p>Private physicians are typically not trained to perform forensic medical exams; however, they can counsel you on your options and refer you to the closest hospital or clinic where you can receive the exam. A primary care physician can assist you with physical injuries, as well as pregnancy and STI testing.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, SANE and FNE nurses are available through the 540-741-1000 or 911 (police emergencies).<\/p>\n<p>Forensic exams can last several hours, but the important thing to remember is you have choices throughout the process. You can ask questions at any point and can change your mind if you decide to. If a support person (either a friend, family member, or advocate\/staff member through Talley Center, Empowerhouse, or RCASA) would be helpful, they can be with you throughout the process. If you’re not sure whether you want to report or not, you can talk with the SANE nurse about your evidence being held without being reported.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to go to your family physician or primary care provider, consider telling them what happened, as they can treat you for what is needed. Some physical examinations may be triggering or upsetting for you; you may consider discussing this with a medical or mental health professional prior to your exam or appointment.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Will a forensic exam take a long time?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<p>Exams can last several hours, but the important thing to remember is you have choices throughout the process. You can ask questions at any point and can change your mind if you decide to. If a support person (either a friend, family member, or advocate through <a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/counseling\/\">Talley Center<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.empowerhouseva.org\/\">Empowerhouse<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcasa.org\">RCASA<\/a>) would be helpful, they can be with you throughout the process. If you’re not sure whether you want to report or not, you can talk with the forensic nurse about your evidence being held without being reported. If you decide to go to your family physician or primary care provider, consider telling them what generally happened, as they can often best treat you when they know what they’re looking for. Some physical examinations may be triggering or upsetting for survivors of sex or gender-based violence; you may consider discussing this with a medical or mental health professional prior to your exam or appointment.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">What does the forensic medical exam cost?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<p>The Commonwealth of Virginia will pay for the cost of the sexual assault forensic medical exam and the evidence can be stored for up to five years. However, health professionals are required to obtain authorization from law enforcement to perform forensic medical examinations for victims of physical assault.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">What happens with the forensic medical exam after the evidence is collected?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<p>If you are under the age of 18, your nurse or doctor will be required to report the incidence to the Department of Social Services. Having a forensic sexual assault medical exam completed does not mean you have to make the decision to file a criminal report or complaint with UMW. You can do a BLIND sexual assault forensic exam, which means that the evidence aka Physical Exam Recovery Kit (PERK) is kept anonymous. Domestic violence or physical assault cases do not have the option of keeping the evidence anonymous. Domestic violence victims must cooperate with criminal proceedings in order to have a forensic medical exam conducted.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to report your sexual assault to law enforcement, the police will take custody of the PERK from the SANE at the hospital and it will be sent to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfs.virginia.gov\/field-test-kits\/perks\/\">Department of <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfs.virginia.gov\/field-test-kits\/perks\/\">Forensic Science <\/a>within 60 days. You have the right to be notified of the status and results of your PERK analysis. If you choose not to report the crime, your PERK kit will be stored for a minimum of two years.

The policy will discuss definitions, jurisdiction, confidentiality, role of the Title IX Coordinator, supportive measures, procedures, reporting options, etc.<\/p><h4>Where can I find additional information that is specific to<strong><em> being a Complainant*<\/em><\/strong>?<\/h4><p>*A Complainant is defined in the Prohibited Conduct Policy as a person who is reported to have experienced Prohibited Conduct. Please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/title-ix\/sample-page\/\">Complainant Resource and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/a> webpage.<\/p><h4>What are <em><strong>supportive measures<\/strong><\/em>?<\/h4><p>Supportive measures mean non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the complainant before or after the filing of a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to UMW’s education program or activity without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or UMW’s educational environment or to deter Prohibited Conduct. Supportive measures may include counseling, extensions of deadlines or other course-related adjustments, modifications of work or class schedules, campus escort services, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties, changes in work or housing locations, leaves of absences, increased security and monitoring of certain areas of the campus, and other similar measures. UMW will maintain as confidential any supportive measures provided to the complainant, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of UMW to provide the supportive measures.  <strong>The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the effective implementation of supportive measures.<\/strong><\/p><h4>How do I know if I have suffered <strong><em>trauma<\/em><\/strong>?<\/h4><p>Trauma is the exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. This exposure can take the form of the person actually experiencing the event, directly witnessing the event occur to others, or learning persistent and significant details of the event that occurred to a close family member or friend. (APA, DSM-IV).<\/p><h4 id=\"amnesty\">What is <strong><em>Amnesty<\/em><\/strong>?<\/h4><p>Victims or witnesses of Prohibited Conduct who have been using alcohol or other drugs at the time of the incident might fear that they would “get into trouble” for having violated UMW’s alcohol or drug policies if they report. Recognizing the potentially devastating impact of Prohibited Conduct on not just the individual but on the UMW community, UMW will grant limited amnesty to the student(s) from drug, alcohol, and other student conduct policies, if their behavior did not put other individuals at risk.<\/p><h4 id=\"responsible-employee\">Who is a <strong><em>Responsible Employee<\/em><\/strong>?<\/h4><p>A Responsible Employee is a University employee who has the duty to disclose all reports of Prohibited Conduct to the University’s Title IX Coordinator. All University employees (except Confidential Employees, as defined in this Policy) are Responsible Employees, including student workers employed as Resident Assistants, Orientation Staff, Peer Mentors, and Graduate Teaching Assistants, when disclosures are made to them in their capacities as University employees. Responsible Employees, who in the course of employment, obtain information (directly or indirectly) about an incident(s) of Prohibited Conduct that may involve a student and\/or incident(s) of Prohibited Conduct that may have occurred on campus, in or on a non-campus building or property, or on public property, shall report such information (including dates, times, locations, and names of the parties and witnesses) to the Title IX Coordinator as soon as practicable after addressing the immediate needs of the Complainant.<\/p><h4>Who is a <strong><em>confidential employee<\/em><\/strong>?<\/h4><p>Employees of the Talley Center, Student Health Center, and Athletic Trainers are <strong>not required<\/strong> to share information about sex or gender-based violence with the Title IX Coordinator.

If you are afraid of or intimidated by your abuser, a protective order may prevent the offender from contacting you or coming near you.  The abuser can be arrested and jailed if they violate the protective order.\n\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Where do I go to get a Protective Order?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<p>If  the person from whom you want protection is a family member or juvenile, you should go to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court (J&DR) at 615 Princess Anne Street in Fredericksburg. Call first (540-372-1068) to ensure a judge is available. For all other cases, go to the General District Court at 701 Princess Anne Street in Fredericksburg.

If privacy is a concern, you may want to communicate with the professor or staff member ahead of time to ensure privacy and plenty of time to talk. Although all faculty and staff complete a mandatory Title IX training, most “responsible employees” do not have expertise in sex and gender-based violence and they may inadvertently say something that is not supportive. They might be surprised, or unsure of how to help. Consider bringing this resource guide to help guide the conversation, or follow up with a confidential resource, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/counseling\/\">Talley Center <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/healthcenter\/\">Student Health Center, <\/a>or professionals who have completed training specific to helping people impacted by gender-based violence, like members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/diversity.umw.edu\/title-ix\/\">Office of Title IX and ADA Compliance<\/a>.<\/p><h3><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>I want to talk to someone off <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>c<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>am<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>p<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>us…<\/em><\/strong><\/h3><p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong>If you are a victim\/survivor of domestic violence or intimate partner violence<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.empowerhouseva.org\/\">Empowerhouse <\/a>provides a 24-hour hotline 540-373-9373 where advocates are available to listen, and help you plan for safety and assess your situation for risk.
