What is sexual assault?
Anytime someone is forced, coerced and/or manipulated into any unwanted or illegal sexual activity, it is a sexual assault. Sexual assault or abuse are terms we use in our work to talk about the broad spectrum of unwanted or illegal behaviors. The term sexual assault, used throughout our site, is generally used in reference to adults. When it involves a child or teen who has been victimized, we frequently use the term child sexual abuse.
What does KCSARC do?
KCSARC is an independent nonprofit serving survivors and their families throughout King County and engaging communities in building a world without sexual assault.
KCSARC’s 50-year history as a trusted resource gives us the experience and expertise to empower survivors, change attitudes, shape statewide policy, remove barriers and hold systems accountable.

Impact 2025-26: ACE connects young survivors to support
07.21.26
Trusted adults working in schools are frequently those who first hear a young survivor’s disclosure. Too often, survivors go unconnected to supportive advocacy until well into a criminal legal process, leaving them feeling confused and isolated. KCSARC’s new Advocacy, Connection & Engagement (ACE) program is changing that by reaching survivors right from the moment of disclosure.
