If you have been sexually assaulted...
More Than 72 Hours Ago
If more than 72 hours have passed since the assault, you still have options.
​
In Alabama, there is no statute of limitations for reporting sexual assault. In some situations, a forensic exam may still be appropriate after 72 hours, depending on the circumstances. Even if an exam is not indicated, you can still make a report to law enforcement and speak with a forensic nurse.
​
The Tuscaloosa SAFE Center can help you understand your reporting options, connect you with available resources, and coordinate with law enforcement if you choose to make a report at our center.

You continue to have access to counseling, support groups, advocacy, and other supportive services — regardless of when the assault occurred.
