How Do I Report People?

[FaeAlicia]

I encountered someone that decided to come up and essentially sexually assault my character. Being a rape survivor in real life, I take this shit very seriously. And yet when I tried to report them, the only report option that came up when I right-clicked their name is for RMT. So how do I go about reporting players for violating my consent like this?

Edit: Just gonna add, the fact that there's a report option for real money trading but not for sexual harassment/assault tells a lot about Square's priorities. Putting their profits over the health of the playerbase may be standard practice in the game industry what with all the other companies out there that cultivated a rape culture inside their own doors, but it's no less disgusting.

That's becausw serious accusations like these are handled by real life authorities and police
If what you say is true and he sexually assaulted you you must contact your local police and file a report, sqex and ingame mods cannot do anything when it comes to criminal law violations

I don't know what country you live in, but the police here in the USA are notorious for not just ignoring sexual assault cases, but engaging in sexual assault themselves. They are not the solution in this country so all I can do is force the offender away from the places where they can harm me using other means. So I ask again: How do I report these people to get them away from myself and other vulnerable people?

Edit: Just noticed you assumed they were a man. The name sounds feminine, so while I didn't get to see who did it because I was busy with an NPC at the time and all I have are chat logs, there's a good chance you're wrong. Do better and stop assuming everything is always a man assaulting a woman. Since I wasn't sure on their gender, I used gender neutral pronouns because I know how much misgendering hurts trans people, so I don't want to justify hurting innocent people simply for a petty insult towards someone who hurt me. And neither should you or anyone else.

There is a difference. Their "character" was sexually assaulted. You don't call police for that

In game under the system menu/Support Help is where you report. The right click report is just for RMT activity.

Thank you. That they would hide this report system so deep like this says even more about Square's priorities, though. If you're reporting a player, no matter what for, you should be able to right-click the name and select "Report" from the menu. To hide it three layers deep while putting RMT right there on the main menu is beyond infuriating. From a coding perspective, it wouldn't even be hard to implement since the RMT report is already in a submenu, so they can just copy-paste the relevant code from the "Report Harassment" button to a new submenu item.

I hope they at least do something about this person because their activity is not okay and the way they were so casual about it tells me this isn't the first time they did this sort of thing.
