Jackson Police Department Assistant Chief Lee Vance says one rape is too many.

“Be aware of your surroundings, don’t trust people that you don’t know thoroughly. Try to use wise judgments when it comes to dealing with people. But let me say this, I think rape is a heinous crime. Perpetrated by mentally and morally corrupt individuals,” Vance said.
