Licking County Prosecutor Jenny Wells is encouraging community members to learn more about the efforts to protect children through the upcoming C.A.S.E. (Child Abuse & Sexual Exploitation) Community Awareness Event on Tuesday, November 17, at the Midland Theatre in Newark.
The free event will provide an opportunity for adults to learn about the work of the C.A.S.E. Task Force, which brings together local law enforcement investigators to address child physical abuse, sexual abuse, and internet crimes against children. The program will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and is designed to raise awareness, provide information, and help community members better understand the challenges involved in protecting children.
The event is open to adults 18 and older. Admission is free, but advance registration is required. Attendees can also submit questions when registering to have specific concerns addressed during the program.
