Officials from the Kansas Attorney General’s Office this week honored nearly two dozen sexual assault survivors from Riley County for their service to crime victims.
“The award winners have demonstrated extraordinary acts of service in helping crime victims navigate really challenging circumstances,” Attorney General Kris Kobach said. “Providing justice to crime victims is more than prosecuting the offenders. Justice includes listening when others turn away, acting when intervention is critical, and advocating for those who feel they have no voice.”
The survivors, known as the “19-plus” received the Community Champion Victim Service Award at the 28th annual Kansas Crime Victims’ Rights Conference, held in Wichita. The group advocated for a change in law following the August 2025 conviction of former Manhattan chiropractor Clark Petersen on 51 counts of sex crimes against patients.
