Graves County Commonwealth's Attorney Richie Kemp says the Vulnerable Victim Unit was created by Aimee Clymer-Hancock, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney, in order to further address the unique needs of Graves County’s most vulnerable crime victims and their families. Vulnerable Victims include children, the elderly, and victims of sexual and domestic violence.
The Vulnerable Victim Unit is (primarily) comprised of:
- Prosecutors – Aimee Clymer-Hancock and Richie Kemp ,
- Victim’s Advocates - Lisa Adams and Denise Brazzell,
- Unit Legal Assistants - Shania McKinney and Becky Piroutek, and
- Detective - Jerry Gore.
The Vulnerable Victim Unit will focus its efforts on the aggressive prosecution of predators who perpetrate child physical and sexual abuse, any crimes evidencing exploitation of the elderly, human trafficking, sexual violence, and cases involving domestic violence related assaults or murder.
