Rape by fraud or sexual assault by fraud is rarely prosecuted.
Little credence is given to victims who suffer imposter sexual assaults, whether by offenders who disguise their identities, fertility doctors who impregnate their victims with their own sperm instead of that of the chosen donor, or by predators who secure sexual contact by distorting foundational facts about themselves.
We are providing links to help survivors understand that despite the invalidation of the justice system and by the public, they are heard and not alone.
