| Abstract | Sexual assault on women is an evil trend in the society. Human beings of all age and sex may have the misfortune of experiencing this crime in their lifetime. The present study was conducted on 53 victims of alleged sexual assault with the objectives to reveal their socio demographic profile & medico legal consequences. The current study shows in most cases the perpetrators of the crime are known to the victim. The victims may or may not have detectable physical injuries. In some cases even in consensual relationship complain of sexual assault comes into play when breach of trust results. Another heinous sort of crime is committed on children who are too young to resist or even understand the consequences of the act. This type of study may help to enhance public awareness, which can increase reporting of incidents and to frame appropriate measures to diminish such events in society.
