When Randall Mayhew was reinstated as a Columbus police officer in January, it didn't really shock Hannah Estabrook.
It did, however, sadden Estabrook, who was for several years a docket coordinator with the Changing Actions to Change Habits (CATCH) Court, a special court for prostitutes and women involved in human trafficking. She is now helping to build Sanctuary Night, a drop-in center on Sullivant Avenue that will focus on providing food, showers and other services with a focus on those women.
"I was really disappointed, particularly because I know some of the women who were specifically hurt by officer Mayhew and they have overcome so much already," Estabrook said. "The fact they found some courage to share their stories, they were even in some cases willing to be witnesses in his case. It's so remarkable to me and to respond to that courage with this kind of potentially crushing blow is devastating to me."
