Report rape, sexual assault and other sexual offences
This service will help you report rape and sexual assault, and other sexual offences like indecent exposure and upskirting. You can also report sexual harassment using this service.
First we'll ask you some questions to make sure reporting online is right for you, and so we can give you the right form to fill in.
Then you'll fill in the report itself.
This will take about 20 to 30 minutes, so please make sure you're safe to take that time.
We won't judge you, we'll treat you with respect, and we'll always put your health and wellbeing first.
You can report something that's happened to you, or to someone else. You can report anonymously, without giving us your details.
Use the 'Leave this site' button if you need to. It will close this site and open the Google search engine. Your form won't be saved and won't be sent to us.

How to report
If it isn't an emergency you can tell us you have witnessed a rape, sexual assault or other sexual offence to us online.
What we'll ask you
We'll ask you about:
- your details
- the victim's details
- details of the person or people who committed the offence
- when and where it happened
- what you saw or heard
You might not know or remember all the details. That's okay, just tell us whatever you can.
Reporting anonymously
Anonymous reports are useful to us, but if you don’t give us any contact details we may not be able to fully investigate the incident.
You can give us your details later on if you change your mind.
If you don’t give us your details we will only try to contact you if we think you or someone else is in danger.
What will happen to your online report
Your report will be dealt with by our control room in exactly the same way whether you report it online or call 101.
