Victim's Rape Kit Helped Identify Her as Suspect In Another Case, DA Says

A few interesting quotes from the article:

quote:

DNA samples collected from victims of sexual assault are being used by the San Francisco Police Department to identify them as possible suspects in other crimes, the San Francisco district attorney charged this week, adding that he would encourage legislation to ban the practice.


quote:

The practice of using DNA from a rape kit to possibly identify the victim as a potential suspect in another matter is apparently widespread, according to Kate Chatfield, chief of staff to Boudin, who survived a recall effort last year in a test of the public’s willingness to support progressive district attorneys amid headlines of rising crime. She said that using DNA from rape kits in this way might date back to 2015, when crime databases in the region were revamped.


quote:

Advocates for rape victims bristled at the possibility that evidence used to catch attackers could actually be used against the victims.

You want rapes to go unreported? Because this is how you do it.

Only if the women are criminals themselves I guess. But I'm not saying it is right or wrong. But it is interesting.

Simple solution: Don't rape and you won't get ID'ed as a rapist.

It's not the rapist's DNA...it's the victim's DNA being utilized to catch the victim as a perpetrator of other crimes.

I have mixed emotions about it. Personally, I wouldn’t have an issue with it because I haven’t committed another crime.

But if a woman is a prostitute and is raped, she sure as frick isn’t going to agree to a rape kit if it’s going to be used to throw her in a jail for another crime. And then rapist will be encouraged to target women like her knowing she won’t report.

I also find it interesting that they’re using the DNA database to identify someone from a property crime.
