In the summer of 1998 in Italy, an 18-year old girl was raped by her 45-year old driving instructor. One year later, the perpetrator was released after the court overturned his sentence. He appealed that the girl had 'consensual' sex with him. because she was wearing tight jeans that could have only been taken off with her help. The next day, Italian women showed up in jeans to their workplaces protesting the absurdity of the overturned sentence. The Family Crisis Center is inviting businesses and individuals to stand in Solidarity against Sexual Abuse on April 26th by allowing employees to 'dress down' in denim in exchange for a hygiene product to be donated to the Family Crisis Center.
