“GENEVA — More than 50 people in the county used services provided by the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center last year.

“In September, the center opened an Ashtabula office at 5021 State Road, after operating for the last three years out of Homesafe for just a few hours each week, Jennifer Schlosser, director of community engagement at the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center. The Cleveland Rape Crisis Center is headquartered in downtown Cleveland and serves Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula counties through 17 office locations.
