Rape Victims won’t Face Exam Bills

Published by Press 7 for Celtic at 1:29 am under Judiciary - Criminal Justice, North Carolina

This is a government program I DON’T mind paying for…

RALEIGH - Victims of sexual violence in North Carolina will no longer be forced to pay for the forensic exams needed to help capture their attackers.

The N.C. General Assembly approved more than $1 million this summer to revamp a program designed to help cover the cost of rape kit exams for uninsured victims. The exams are used to collect bodily evidence of an attacker and are standard in the prosecution of sex crimes.

The N&O

Why the hell wasn’t this a law sooner?
