Each year, at The Center for Prevention of Abuse sees hundreds of women, men and children who have been affected by the trauma of sexual assault.

During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, life-sized silhouettes that offer mute witness to the problem of sexual abuse are placed throughout the county.

The three figures outside the Circuit Clerk’s office in the Woodford County Courthouse each bear a printed story of a person who has been abused and is getting help through the Center.
