A new group in Milwaukee has started to combat sexual assaults of minors. The community coalition is from the Office of Violence Prevention.

Just this week a dean, a teacher, and a pastor, all charged with having inappropriate relationships with underage children.

Alice Belcher says something needs to be done.

That’s why she has teamed with other sexual assault groups in Milwaukee to create a new community coalition.

“The problem has been a lot of people don’t know that we are here and have been doing this work,” says Alice Belcher, Christian Woman Prospective Ministries founder. “So we decided instead of doing things disjointedly we would together as a new coordinated community response team.”
