Victims of sexual assault may call 911 and OTC Safety & Security at 447-6911. Victims may seek the assistance of other campus personnel such as counselors or outside agencies such as The Victims Center 24 hour hotline (417) 864-7233. It is up to the victim if they want to contact law enforcement.
Following any sexual assault, if the victim wants to have law enforcement involved and to preserve evidence necessary for a criminal conviction, victims should not bathe, douche, or change clothing. After reporting the assault to local law enforcement, victims should go to a hospital emergency room for an examination.
