KCSDV Statement regarding Kansas Rep. Coleman’s arrest for domestic violence

“Abusers who are not held accountable for their actions will, most likely, continue to abuse,” said KCSDV Executive Director Joyce Grover. “While we have no knowledge of the specifics of Representative Aaron Coleman’s arrest this past weekend on a domestic violence allegation, we urge the state legislature and others to take these latest allegations seriously in light of his past and continuing actions of domestic violence, stalking, intimidation, and other abusive behavior and to consider holding him accountable through the imposition of additional sanctions by the Kansas Legislative body or other decision-makers.”

“Domestic and sexual violence and stalking are serious public health and safety issues that should be taken seriously whenever and wherever they happen.”
