Justice official to discuss sexual assault

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The head of the U.S. Department of Justice's office on violence against women is coming to Little Rock later this month to talk about sexual assault.

The Arkansas Coalition Against Sexual Assault says Susan Carbon will discuss sexual violence as a societal problem on April 21 at the Clinton School of Public Service.

President Obama named Carbon, a former New Hampshire judge, to direct the Justice Department's Office on Violence Against Women.
That office gives financial and technical aid to communities that develop ways to end domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.
