RAINN, a non-profit organization, operates America's only national hotline for victims of sexual assault. The hotline offers free, confidential counseling and support 24 hours a day, from anywhere in the country. The hotline is a partnership of nearly 900 rape crisis centers across the country. Callers are automatically connected to their local center for immediate help. If a caller is under age 18 and chooses to share personally-identifying information with the counselor, the counselor will be mandated to notify authorities of the sexual assault of a minor. Only in this situation-when a minor calls and reveals identifying information-does the pledge of confidentiality not apply.
