- Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) bring a unique set
of skills to ensure that victims of sexual attacks
are examined sensitively while important criminal
evidence is collected. The physical and photographic
evidence that the SANE gathers in the course of
her exam can help convict or exonerate a suspect,
and her sensitivity to the victim and knowledge
of the need for crisis intervention and counseling
can help victims deal with the emotional trauma
of being sexually assaulted.

- For
victims of sexual assault, the insult to their dignity
doesn't end with the crime. A long wait in a hospital
emergency room, an invasive medical examination,
an intrusive law enforcement investigation and,
often, an embarrassing public trial will follow,
that is, if they report the crime.
