Rideshare Sexual Assault in San Diego
San Diego's combination of military population, major university campuses, and active Gaslamp Quarter bar district creates high late-night rideshare demand. The compact downtown geography means many rides involve short but potentially isolated routes. California's 10-year civil SOL provides exceptional protection, and San Diego County's SANE network offers accessible forensic medical support for survivors.
