Society free of crime is unimaginable. The incidence of sexual assault cases as well as reporting of such cases is on the rise after the 2012 Delhi gang rape case. The present study was conducted on 35 survivors of alleged sexual assault with the objectives to reveal their “socio demographic profile & medico legal consequences”. The current study shows in most cases the accused were known to the victim. The victims may or may not have detectable physical injuries. There was great time lapse between the occurrence of the incident and reporting to police. In some cases even in consensual relationship complain of sexual assault comes into play when breach of trust results. This study may help to increase public awareness, which can increase reporting of incidents and to frame appropriate measures to diminish such events in society.
