A “Complainant” is someone who may have experienced dating or domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. If this describes your situation, support is available. The information below explains your options and links to resources that can help.
Dating or domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are crimes. You are not responsible for another person’s harmful actions. Sexual misconduct, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation also violate OTECH policy.
If you have experienced any of these behaviors, OTECH is here to support you. The college can provide supportive measures to help keep you safe and ensure you can continue your education—whether or not there is an investigation.
If you are not safe, contact a trusted family member, support person, or call 911 immediately.
Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, consider visiting a hospital emergency room for medical care and forensic evidence collection. Medical professionals can help assess risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy. The cost of this exam is covered by the Utah Office for Victims of Crime under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)—you will not be billed.
If you’re unsure about undergoing a forensic exam, preserving evidence may still be helpful later. Save clothing in a brown paper bag (avoid plastic), and try not to shower, wash, or brush your teeth.
