    Default Can You Make a Confidential Report of a Sexual Assault Without Triggering Prosecution

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nevada

    I want to make a report only for precedent than anything against this person. I am over the age of consent in my state but I am still technically a minor I guess. I just don't really want anyone to know about it outside of anyone who has to know. Like I don't want my parents aunts or even cousin that I'm really close to to know. I am really not ready to be open about it to anyone especially that I do know. That's a big reason I don't want to report. Secondly because I have absolutely no evidence. And everything points to basically that I gave consent. Like I have in the past given consent before and after. We would like sext and stuff.

    Our relationship was purely sexual and a few people know this. Basically no one knows about the other time. That time it wasn't legal though. Because we were both really drunk. And I said no and never said yes. And expressed several times why I was not going to willingly have sex with him. He didn't leave any marks or anything and I didn't fight for one because I was drunk I had limited abilities. But I made it clear I didn't want to have sex. I even did something to stop it from occurring. But nothing worth any evidence.

    There's been a dispute about something and basically he won't really leave me alone and he has threatened bodily harm if I did something he didn't approve of. And I thought he forgot I existed but today he texted me if he still sees me a certain way in a few months that I'm going to regret it basically. It's really not been good. And I mean I feel at this point I'd like to report him overall on everything in hopes I can get a restraining order.

    My issue also is we go to the same school does that mean I'll have to switch schools? How does that work? I don't know how to make up an excuse to family. Which is why I wonder how I can report it or just keep quiet and suffer in silence I just don't want to risk it if he's actually serious... Advice?

    So you want to report a crime but don't want the cops to do anything about it? Just make it real simple for everybody and don't report it. The law cannot do anythng to the guy if nobody is willing to testify against him.

    yeah I want them to do something about it. I just want him to stop. Stop harassing me stop threatening me. Just leave me alone for once. And I don't really know how to do that.

    If you report rape, stalking, or any form of domestic violence to the police, they will almost certainly look into it. Without evidence, you are correct that it will likely go nowhere. Likewise, if your parents help you seek a protective order against the person, it will become a matter of public record.

    If you merely want to receive some counseling, you can keep it confidential through counselors, therapists, domestic violence and/or sexual assault services where you live. I would strongly recommend that you seek the assistance of counseling services for your own peace of mind, and to help you wade through your local options.
