Illinois Code § 102
Illinois Code § 102. Reproduced from the official Illinois Compiled Statutes, with a citation summary, verification link, and related provisions.
§ 102.
Purpose. Sexual assault is the most heinous crime against another person short of murder. Sexual assault inflicts humiliation, degradation, and terror on victims. According to the FBI, a woman is raped every 6 minutes in the United States. Rape is recognized as the most underreported crime; estimates suggest that only one in seven rapes is reported to authorities. Victims who do not report the crime still desire safety and protection from future interactions with the offender. Some cases in which the rape is reported are not prosecuted. In these situations, the victim should be able to seek a civil remedy requiring only that the offender stay away from the victim. (Source: P.A. 93-236, eff. 1-1-04.)
