Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or economic status.

Fort Wayne Sexual Assault Treatment Center
If you’ve experienced sexual assault in the last five days, FWSATC can help you collect evidence and take the next steps. This process confidentially documents the incident, and you can choose to file the incident as a Jane Doe. This means the report is not placed using your real name. Collecting evidence within first five days ensures you can take action later if you choose to do so. Forensic exams are covered by the State of Indiana.
