SCREEN 9: WHO IS AN OFFENDER? Make a The following words are available to put on graphic. Brief Man, Woman, Wants Sex, Is a Stranger, Is a Friend, Is an Acquaintance. Uses a Weapon, Talks Someone into Going To a Remote Location, Talks Someone into Going Home, Lurks in Bushes, Date, Seeks Power…… Check The answer is that there is no simple way to describe someone who will commit sexual assault. Most sexual assaults in the US are perpetrated by white males from 17 to 30 against younger women with whom they are acquainted using verbal threats and physical restraint. However, sexual offenders may be male or female; seek opposite or same sex victims; be known or strangers, be any age; and may use drugs and alcohol to intoxicate victim and/or themselves. The single common characteristic for all sexual offenders is that they seek power over their victims. Facilitator notes for SCREEN 9 activity:

SCREEN 10: IN THE COUNTRY SCENARIO: While camping, Phil invites Jenny and Chris over for a campfire and some coffee. Phil tells you that he will have sex with Jenny by night’s end. After an evening in front of the fire, Phil suggests to Jenny that he would like to take her for a walk. Call the authorities and report a rape. Answer

Feedback  There is no suggestion in this scenario that a sexual assault occurred. You have at least three opportunities to be an active bystander. Tell Phil that Jenny must actively consent. Let Chris and Jenny know that Phil indicated he planned to seduce and have sex with Jenny. Do not let Phil isolate Jenny if Jenny does not want to consent to sex with Phil. Remind Phil that Jenny must consent of her own free will. Answer

Feedback  As Phil’s friend you can be an effective active bystander. Telling Phil that Jenny must consent reminds him that you expect him to act responsibly.

Tell Chris you are concerned about Phil’s behavior and suggest you join Phil and Jenny for the walk. Answer

Feedback  If you cannot bring yourself to talk to Phil or Jenny, discuss the matter with Jenny’s friend. Chris has an opportunity to be an active bystander. Since acquaintance sexual assault is the most common sexual assault, it is reasonable to be concerned and to act. Do not let Phil isolate Jenny. Stay silent. It’s none of your business. They are adults. Answer

Feedback  Making the honorable, if uncomfortable choice, to be an active bystander may be difficult. In this instance, finding the courage to talk to Phil about the crime of sexual assault may stop him from proceeding. By telling Chris and Jenny of Phil’s plans to seduce and have sex with Jenny, Jenny can be forewarned. Actively intervene by staying with Phil and Jenny.
