Report rape, sexual assault and other sexual offences
Are you or someone else in immediate danger or injured?
If you or someone else have been seriously injured or are in danger of being attacked or hurt, please call 999 now. We can send someone to help right away.
This service will help you report rape and sexual assault, and other sexual offences like indecent exposure and upskirting. You can also report sexual harassment using this service.
First we'll ask you some questions to make sure reporting online is right for you, and so we can give you the right form to fill in.
Then you'll fill in the report itself.
This will take about 20 to 30 minutes, so please make sure you're safe to take that time.
We won't judge you, we'll treat you with respect, and we'll always put your health and wellbeing first.
You can report something that's happened to you, or to someone else. You can report anonymously, without giving us your details.
Use the 'Leave this site' button if you need to. It will close this site and open the Google search engine. Your form won't be saved and won't be sent to us.
