To the Editor:
April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It is always the goal of Sexual Assault Awareness Month to raise awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence. This year’s campaign focuses on building safe online spaces. Sexual harassment, assault, and abuse can happen anywhere, including in online spaces. As we connect online, we can learn how to practice digital consent, intervene when we see harmful content or behaviors, and ensure that online spaces – whether they be workspaces, classrooms, social media platforms, or otherwise – are respectful and safe.

Alpena County either excels at supporting sexual assault survivors or has a serious sex crime problem.
Over the past five years, Alpena County police received more than 300 reports of sexual assaults including rape, unwanted sexual touching, and other forced sex acts making sex assaults the most prevalent violent crime in our area, according to Michigan State Police data.
The data also suggests we might have more of a problem than other communities: The assaults reported here over the last five years work out to 1,102 assaults per 100,000 residents, double the statewide rate (Alpena County’s per-capita rate shows more assaults than actually reported because we have fewer than 100,000 residents).
