Labs contracted to clear rape backlo]
NEW YORK (AP) — Trying to
clear thousands of unsolved rapes,
New York City has contracted with
three DNA labs to analyze evidence
before the statute of limitations on
the crimes runs out.
Officials said Wednesday that
New York is the first city to award
such contracts to clear a backlog of
rape investigations. The contracts
total $12 million.
The city has a backlog of about
16,000 “rape kits” containing se
men, hair or other biological evi
dence collected from victims. About
half of the kits were assembled more
than five years ago, too long to even
prosecute the cases.
“This initiative will enable us to
make a significant investment in
making the city safer for the city’s
women,” Bronx District Attorney
Robert Johnson said.
“This DNA testing of the back
log combined with the databank
that’s being assembled in Albany
will allow the district attorneys to
make cases and prosecute people
who had for years eluded capture
and evaded punishment.”
Both Johnson and Manhattan
District Attorney Robert Morgen-
thau pointed out that the analysis
could also clear some men who
have been wrongly convicted of
rape or other crimes.
“It works both ways,” Morgen-
thau said. “It exonerates the inno
cent, convicts the guilty.”
Tests on the rape kits will be per
formed first for rapes that occurred
within the state’s five-year statute of
limitations for prosecuting sex
crimes. Rape kits for crimes that can
“It works
both ways. It
the i
exonerates the
innocent,
convicts the
guilty.”

no longer be prosecuted will
lyzed anyway.
But of the 16,000 rape I
need analysis, the three
cover testing for only 12,
rest, some dating from
1990s, will be analyzed later,
ficials said.
Once analyzed, the DNA
the kits will be stored in cit;
and federal databanks and
pared with genetic material
convicted offenders, as
DNA from unsolved cases
A 1999 state law also n
those convicted of violent fell
including sex crimes, to pn
DNA samples for the databank
