Rapists, Beware: Detroit Prosecutor IDs 21 Attackers in ‘Rape Kit’ Investigation
“Kym Worthy has identified 21 serial rapists so far in a sweeping investigation that could have national implications. Abigail Pesta reports on the crusade to eliminate the rape-kit backlog.
Twenty-one serial rapists have been identified in a massive investigation led by Detroit prosecutor Kym Worthy—and her manhunt has only just begun.”
UM HELLO WORLD THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
GO GET EM
HELL FUCKING YES
See, if society would wake up and actually investigate rapes and use the fucking kits they gather then maybe we could actually catch these assholes and get them off our streets.
‘In one especially horrific case, Worthy says, a convicted rapist named Shelly Andre Brooks had raped and murdered five women after raping a woman whose kit was just recently entered into the database through Worthy’s initiative. If that rape kit had been tested and entered into the database sooner, the man could have been caught sooner—and five women’s lives could have been saved. “That’s why it’s so horrible, this whole thing,” Worthy says.’

Kym Worthy is pretty bamf, won’t lie.
Nice to see some hard facts backing up what has been known to most for awhile.
Stuff like not testing rape kits for years is the kind of stuff that I think should carry an almost automatic charge of...
