Ep13: Rape Kit Backlog
from New Fear Unlocked Hosted by liveloveaine
This week's episode covers the rape kit backlog through the cases of serial rapist Joseph Beaty and serial rapists David and Jeffrey Briney. These cases exemplify how the justice systems refusal to recognize sexual assault as a serious crime has allowed rapists to remain at large and continue to harm others. Get comfy, contact your representatives, and enjoy. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and each week I will be putting out an episode regarding sexual assault. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, you can find resources and a helpline via https://www.rainn.org.
