ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) - The Anderson County Sheriff's Office will host a Women's Safety Seminar Tuesday to show participants how to respond to threats.

“There's things in the class that a lot of people don't think about going for the eyes or going for the ears,” said Lt. Todd Caron, Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Office said they’ve helped hundreds of women over the years learn how to defend themselves. This comes after an incident nearly five years ago.

“A woman was sexually assaulted - middle of the day, 3 p.m., and no one really saw what happened. After that, Sheriff McBride kind of wanted to put something together to help women learn about situational awareness and how to be safe out in public,” said Caron.
