COLUMBIA, S.C. — The leader of an advocacy organization for sexual assault victims said an 18-year-old Chapin High School football player having sex with a 13-year-old wasn’t just “kids being kids.”
“Let’s call it was it is. It’s sexual assault,” Rebecca Lorick, executive director of Pathways to Healing, said.
Pathways to Healing, formerly Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands, is a rape crisis center that provides counseling, support and other services to victims and survivors of sexual assault. It also provides educational programs.
