Did you know that one-third of all sexual offenses in the U.S. are committed by minors under 18 years of age? One-third! Many are placed on the sex offender registry and face a lifetime of serious consequences for their actions as children. In this persuasive talk, Dr. Apryl Alexander explains how we can prevent these crimes by implementing consent education in schools. Dr. Apryl Alexander is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver. She is the Director of the Forensic Institute of Research, Service, and Training (Denver FIRST) Outpatient Competency Restoration Program.

As the daughter of two Air Force veterans, she’s loved travel from an early age, and spent six years in Germany. She is a pop culture fanatic and named her Yorkie after Jax from Sons of Anarchy.
