Sexual assault crime prevention tips provided by Ball State:
• Always get verbal consent from your partner.
• Make sure you have consent. Consent is a clear and freely given "Yes", not the absence of a "No."
• Don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to do. "I don't want to" is always a good enough reason.
