What happened when we tested thousands of abandoned rape kits in Detroit, Kym Worthy
In 2009, 11, 341 untested rape kits some dating back to the 1980s were found in an abandoned warehouse once used by the Detroit police to store evidence. When this scandal was uncovered, prosecutor Kym Worthy set a plan into action to get justice for the thousands of victims affected. In this powerful, eyeopening talk, Worthy explains how her office helped develop an innovative program to track and test these kits and calls for a national effort to help solve the problem of stockpiled rape kits.
