"for all of us this is a sorrowful day. bicycling is a

airport parking lot to kellogg park, cyclists pedal to airport parking lot to kellogg park, cyclists pedal to airport parking lot to kellogg park, cyclists pedal to remember the life of michael prater. according to police... prater was struck by this woman... melinda woodall... who allegedly swerved into the right shoulder on u.s. 52 near asbury road on sunday... before leaving the scene. today people who didn't even know prater wanted to come out and support. "it's really moving to see that everybody in the community comes together for something like this. it's sad that has to be under these circumstances. but we're a very close-knit community and we look out for each other" during a memorial at kellogg park a ghost bike was unveiled. "but that's not the crash site, when that ceremony is done it will be transported to the collision point and

tonight a message from some cyclist when it comes to bicycle safety. "we would like to point out, that this an extremely rare occurrence bicycling is a form of transportation and recreation is very safe." a go fund me page has been set up for prater that information can be found at fox19 now.com developing now animation developing now... colerain police have made several arrests following a large fight that broke out near northgate mall about an hour ago. police say it started at a nearby mcdonalds and made it's way over to the mall. no word yet on how many people were arrested but multiple police departments were called to the scene. right now animation right now... we've got new details on a morning crash that left a pedestrian dead. the victim has been identified as 68-year old roger stephenson. police say he was hit and killed while walking across dixie highway near covington catholic high school this morning. stephenson was pronounced dead

announced that he was not in a crosswalk at the time. "this area is used for a bus stop, so it's possible he was trying to get to the bus stop. but like i said, the driver of the vehicle is cooperating with us, and we don't see any, at this time, criminal action." the driver was treated for minor injuries after the incident. on the eve of super bowl sunday a lot of folks are looking forward to friendly gathering in front of t-v. but what you might not know... is that it can be a difficult time for many victims of domestic violence right here in the tri-state. our own gordon graham joins us live downtown with the rest of the story. gordon? that's right frankie....i'm here at the hamilton county justice center where people....men and women are locked up for sexual violence and a new study suggests incidents of violence increase following the super bowl. kristin-----in this instance there's a lot of alcohol consumption. that's

increase where what we call drug-facilitated kristin shrimplin with the organization women helping women says there's a nearly 50- percents spike in calls for service about sexual hours after the super bowl and in the the vast calls drugs or kristin-----someone when they're intoxicated are legally not capable of giving consent so then when sexual activity occurs it's sexual times with alcohol there can be coersion and violence that's resulting. shrimplin says often times the violence goes unreported or the victim is blamed. kristin-------it's incredibly difficult for survivors to come forward because what we have historically is when a survivor comes forward and says i've been sexually assaulted, i've been raped typically the response is what did you do why did you let it happen. but victoria

healed says there are ways to avoid the situation. victoria------it's hard to tell someone ok well don't watch the game with this person because they're going to act like this. if you expect something to happen have a plan so the game is over maybe you go to a parent's house for the night or maybe you go to a relative's house. kristin shrimplin wants to make it clear that it's not the super bowl or alcohol that causes sexual violence, but they may be catalysts the perpertrator. kristin-----it is a choice to be violent and engage in activity where there's no consent and so the accountability is never on the survivor. the accountability is on the individual who chooses to be violent. here in ohio non consensual sex is rape and its a first degree felony with a penalty of up to ten years in prison. at the hamilton county justice center i'm gordon graham fox19 now. and right now, cincinnati police
