Rapes are on the rise in Cleveland and more children are reaching out to the Rape Crisis Center for help. Now a new state grant has come at the right time to bring hope to those sexual assault survivors.
Last week 19 News reported that the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center has seen a more than 50% increase in child sexual assault survivors this year. Advocates said in 2021 alone they’ve seen more than 100 sexual assault survivors below the age of six.
Cleveland police received more than 500 rape reports just this year – however, advocates believe the true numbers of rape are far higher. For the first time in the state of Ohio, the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center has plans to use some of that money to partner with the LGBT Community Center, which will allow them to focus specifically on meeting the needs of LGBT youth who have suffered from sexual assault.
