*The following information is supplemental to reference of SANE Exams mentioned in this episode:

A SANE exam is done by a specially trained nurse to collect evidence after a sexual assault. You can have a SANE exam without reporting the assault to the police. It's important not to bathe or change clothes before a SANE exam to preserve evidence.

A SANE exam is a comprehensive, evidence-collecting procedure performed by specially trained nurses following a sexual assault. It provides vital support and documentation that can aid in future legal proceedings without mandating immediate police involvement.
