Reported cases of rape have been rising in New York City, shooting up sharply after a lull in the early days of the pandemic, and continuing now at a rate of about five a day.
that took place after February 2019. For other sexual assaults, the statute of limitations ranges between three and 20 years.When a sexual assault is reported from the hospital, it goes through a direct line to the Special Victims Division of the NYPD. Once the call is made, a detective will usually come to the emergency room and take an initial statement, Bromson said.
Once the statement is taken, police will usually begin the investigation and start searching for the attacker. If the attacker is someone the victim knows, police may issue a warrant for their arrest. They'll then follow up in a day or two for any further questions they may have about the case.
“In any department you're going to have a handful of police officers who do not treat victims well,” said Heydari. “But, in my experience, the vast majority of police officers and detectives are great public servants.”Heydari said after the initial police interview, the case usually gets referred to a prosecutor. The prosecutor will usually want to interview the survivor as well.
“People have a number of typical reactions to experiencing a sexual assault and one is self-blame, but nobody has the right to hurt another person,” he said. He said speaking to counselors can help survivors process those feelings.
