If you have been sexually assauted, there is now a new pathway to justice…

SEEK THEN SPEAK offers sexual assault survivors and support people a way to privately gather information and explore options for medical care, supportive services, and reporting to police (SEEK). If they choose, survivors can then begin the process of reporting to police by completing a detailed, self-guided interview (SPEAK).

Seek

SEEK is a tool designed to help survivors privately gather information and explore your options for medical care, supportive services, and reporting to law enforcement.

SEEK discusses the role of different individuals who can provide you support such as victim advocates, medical professionals, law enforcement, and addresses real-world questions survivors may have around forensic exams, crime victim rights, and more. Some local resources may not be listed and can be obtained from the partners listed at the bottom of this page.

Speak

Survivors can start the reporting process in SPEAK, a self-guided interview where you can share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable with. When you finish, it creates a downloadable PDF, which you can choose to save for your own reference or forward to law enforcement. For your privacy, the site will prompt you to clear your data after downloading your report.

If you decide to share your report with Law Enforcement, you can send it to SAS@buchmo.gov. It will then be assigned to the relevant authorities so that a review of the report can be completed and an official investigation can be started. It is important to note that once submitted, these reports become police record, and may be accessible in subsequent legal matters.
