SPECIAL | The US aimed to clear its rape kit backlog. Many survivors are still waiting for justice.
Manage episode 440793531 series 1728074
It’s been nearly a decade since the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative, or SAKI, has been put into place, a relatively new grant program that takes aim at the decades-old problem of unprocessed sexual assault kits. Since its founding in 2015, SAKI has handed out nearly $350 million dollars in grant money to 90 local and state agencies across the U.S. But for many rape survivors, the program's promise of justice has fallen short. Thousands of kits still went untested and in many communities, there were few arrests or convictions. What went wrong? USA TODAY Investigative Reporter Tricia Nadolny joins The Excerpt to discuss what she learned in her investigation into what really happened with America’s rape-kit backlog.
