LAKE CHARLES (AP) – Police officers and emergency medical workers were among about 70 men who pranced through a Lake Charles mall in women’s high-heeled shoes to raise awareness of rape and sexual assault and money to help its victims. Organizer Tammy Vincent tells The American Press that Saturday’s event, called “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” raised about $10,000. She says the light-hearted event gets people talking about serious problems that many communities don’t want to admit are happening.
