RACINE COUNTY, Wisconsin (WDJT) A man who police say recorded himself having sex with women after he drugged them in Racine County has his day in court Thursday, April 15. He faces over 200 counts against him.
The story broke three weeks ago. Since then, a sheriff’s spokesman tells us they’ve had plenty of solid tips and even more charges could follow. It’s all thanks to one brave Racine County woman who stepped forward.
City officials officially deemed April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month during Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
In a proclamation read by council member Elaine Hays, the city praised Family Support Services of Amarillo for intensifying its efforts to promote public understanding of sexual violence in the community as well as highlighting the need for citizen involvement to reduce the number of incidents through education and changing public attitudes.
According to a news release, Family Support Services states there are multiple ways individuals can raise awareness about sexual assault in the Amarillo community, including participating in “Paws for Consent/Cats against Cat-Calls Day” on Saturday by posting pictures of pets on social media as well as participating in “Wear Denim Day” on April 28.
One WSU Women s Center employee said Sexual Assault Awareness Month is a time for individuals to educate themselves about various issues pertaining to sexual assault and take action to help end sexual violence.
“This is essentially a time for us to come together and show our campus’ support and solidarity with survivors,” program coordinator Jackie Sedano said.
Last week, the center hosted its primary event for SAAM called SLUT STRUT. It stands for Sexual Learning Ultimately Tailored for Students, Teachers, Residents, Uniting Today. The event, hosted in conjunction with Cougar Health Services, was a week-long series of inclusive workshops, she said.
