As we're based in the UK, we'll only be able to provide information for UK laws although if you check out the international laws page, you'll find some international support services to provide more info.
You may have concerns and reservations around reporting crimes to the police although it's always good to know what legal rights you have if you do choose to report this. A local support service could help advocate for you and guide you through the process.
