One California assemblyman is intent on learning the exact number and why evidence in reported sexual assault cases isn’t in a database used by investigators statewide. The measure introduced by Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco, is aimed at reducing the number of untested sexual assault evidence kits throughout California. The bill for the first time requires law enforcement agencies to report to the California Department of Justice annual data on sexual assault evidence kit collection and testing, providing “greater transparency for survivors, policy makers and the criminal justice system,” according to a press release from Chiu’s office. The Assembly has unanimously approved the measure, which is moving toward vote in the State Senate. The bill sailed through two state Senate committees last month, yet is opposed by the California State Sheriff’s Association on the grounds that a new DNA evidence reporting requirement places a financial burden on local law enforcement. The push for more clarity and accountability with the DNA evidence comes amidst a national campaign to better manage sexual assault evidence and reduce a backlog of untested kits. “The neglect of sexual assault kits with no explanation of why they were not analyzed simply adds to the trauma endured by survivors seeking justice,” said Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley, who supports the measure. Participation by police and sheriffs wouldn’t pose a burden or be time-consuming, O’Malley believes. The additional reporting in Chiu’s bill can be accomplished with “a few extra keystrokes” in the statewide DNA tracking system for sexual predators, she explained. The bill’s author says there is no comprehensive data available in California about the number of sexual assault evidence kits that local law enforcement agencies collect annually or how many kits are analyzed. No comprehensive data exists either about why some sexual assault evidence kits are not analyzed, according to Chiu. “There is a significant public interest in knowing the percentage of rape kits that are analyzed to identify the perpetrator’s DNA profile, as well as the reason for any untested rape kits not being analyzed,” the bill’s language explains. “Currently, there is no mandatory statewide tracking mechanism to collect and report these metrics. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section … to correct that.” The cost to test DNA evidence in a rape case can reach $5,000, and a 2014 report by the California State Auditor revealed that each year kits go unanalyzed by DNA laboratories for a variety of reasons. Chiu says the scope of the problem, however, cannot be properly estimated due to “a lack of effective tracking at the local level.” Women and men who report sexual assaults often know their attackers, according to statistics cited in a paper by Dean Kilpatrick with the National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center. In nearly 80 percent of the cases reported to police, the victim and the accused perpetrator had an intimate See DNA Evidence, page 9 El Segundo Rotary Club presents the 20th Annual in the SATURDAY • AUGUST 5, 2017 Gates Open: 4:00pm • Movie Starts at Dusk Chevron Park, El Segundo - Parking at Illinois & El Segundo Blvd. Admission: $5 (kids 3 and under are free) bring blankets & beach chair - no high-back chairs please Tickets available now at Industrial Lock & Security, Big-5 El Segundo and the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce.
