Sexual assault is any non-consensual sexual act or behavior, including rape, sexual coercion, and sexual harassment. It is a serious crime that can have severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences for survivors.
Sexual assault can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. It is important to remember that survivors of sexual assault are never to blame for the abuse they have experienced, and that it is never their fault.
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, it is important to seek help and support. This can include talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking counseling or therapy, and contacting local authorities or organizations that provide support for survivors of sexual assault. It is also important to remember that it is never too late to seek help and that it is possible to heal and recover from the experience of sexual assault.

AUSTIN – Attorney General Ken Paxton joined a multi-state letter with other attorneys general objecting to the American Law Institute (ALI) proposed amendments to the Model Penal Code (MPC). If adopted, the amendments would negatively affect human trafficking victims by reducing legal protections and reducing criminal liability for human traffickers. The amendments would also increase the risk that those purchasing sex or profiting from it could escape responsibility for their role in sex trafficking.
