"Rampant victim shaming and blaming" led to the backlog in the first place, says Worthy, in addition to a "lack of training" and compassion. #DetroitToday
"That's what makes this so heartbreaking... these women were courageous enough to come forward... and then they were mistreated again," says Worthy. #DetroitToday
"We also identified over 825 serial rapists" after the rape kits were tested, says Worthy. #DetroitToday
