PAVE's History:

PAVE was founded in February 2001 by Angela Rose after she was kidnapped from a shopping mall and sexually assaulted by a repeat sex offender who was on parole for murder. Although Angela was assaulted by a stranger, the vast majority of sexual violence is committed by someone who we know and trust. CLICK HERE
