Beware: More than 50% of College Sexual Assaults Happen Not Long After Semester Starts


News From the New Orleans Family Justice Center:

“As students return to campus, it’s crucial to raise awareness: More than 50% of college sexual assaults happen between August and November, especially in the early months of each semester.”

“At the New Orleans Family Justice Center (NOFJC), we’re taking proactive steps to protect and support college students by meeting with Title IX Coordinators across local campuses. These dedicated professionals are key allies in the fight against sexual violence—helping students understand their rights, coordinating investigations, and connecting survivors with vital support services.”

“Shout out to Dillard University’s incredible Title IX team for visiting our Sexual Assault Department to learn more about our work and explore ways to collaborate. We’re grateful for the opportunity to strengthen our partnership and share resources that will make a real difference in students’ lives.”

“Together, we’re working to build safer, more informed campuses—where survivors know they are seen, believed, and supported.”

Louisiana’s Legal Window for Abuse Survivors is Closing

00
Days left in the lookback window
Closes June 14th, 2027

On June 14, 2027, Louisiana’s lookback window closes. Until then, survivors of past childhood sexual abuse can bring a civil claim – even if the old deadline had already passed. Once it closes, that opportunity may be gone.
