Detective Chief Inspector Vincent Mclaughlin said: "Sexual offending is unacceptable and tackling this serious crime is a priority for Police Scotland, both nationally and locally in the Highlands and Islands.
"The only person to blame for a sexual offence is the perpetrator and a significant part of our work has to be the prevention of sexual crimes.
"We work in partnership with a range of agencies across the public and third sectors to educate people raise awareness about what is and isn't acceptable behaviour.”
Gillian Gunn, Violence Against Women Development & Training Manager for NHS Highland said: “Experiencing rape as an adult, child or young person can have a significant effect on someone’s life.
“It is important to remember that people can recover from sexual violence.
“Some of the myths about consent, sex, and rape still exist and it is important that we continue to challenge these.
“No one is responsible for rape other than the perpetrator.
“Something that we can all do is educate ourselves about rape and consent and challenge our friends and family if they perpetuate some of the myths.”
Detective Inspector Donald Macdonald of the Divisional Rape Investigation Unit said: "We have a dedicated team of specialist officers committed to investigating reports of rape or sexual offences.
"Every report is taken seriously and we will sensitively and thoroughly investigate robustly to bring perpetrators to justice.
"Time is no barrier to justice, please report any offences which have occurred to us so we can take action.
"There are various ways to report an offence, either direct to Police Scotland or one of the many partner agencies such as Rape Crisis Scotland or Women's Aid."
You can contact Police Scotland on 101 or 999 in an emergency.
