Wayne County Turn-Around Program Hosts 'Reduce the Risk' Seminar
Program Aims to End Sexual Violence Through Education and Awareness
At least one in four females, and one in six males, will be sexually assaulted during their lifetime.
Teenage and college-aged women have the highest rate of sexual victimization of any age group.
The prevalence of sexual assault in the United States is staggering. That is why Prosecutor Kym
L. Wotthy initiated The Wayne County Turn-Around Program (WC TAP).
WC TAP is a working collaboration benveen the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and
community-based stakeholders who acknowledge the challenges surrounding sexual violence in
teens and young adults. WC TAP is dedicated to ending sexual violence in our at-risk population
by providing education and awareness in our community.
