Community members gathered Wednesday in front of the Callaway County Courthouse in Fulton for a drone video to show their support for victims of sexual assault.
The Coalition Against Rape and Domestic Violence encouraged locals to wear jeans as part of sexual assault awareness month and to fight back against victim blaming. Attendees included CARDV, Westminster College's Every Blue Jay Can Stop Gender-Based Violence group, Fulton Police Department, Callaway County Sheriff's Office and courthouse staff, including from the county commission and the offices of the prosecuting attorney, circuit clerk and auditor.
"We support victims who could see this and know there's a community to support them," assistant prosecutor Risa Perkins said.
