If the rape or assault has never been reported, reporting it to the local police department is the place to start. A school counselor and/or teacher can help you get to the right person in the police department.

If however, the rape or assault has been reported and there is a trial being held, the person would appear at the courthouse where the trial is being held. Every accused person has a right to face the accuser and therefore, the testimony is given in the courtroom in front of the court staff, the attorneys, the judge and the accused.
