Dr. Noel Busch-Armendariz was interviewed by Your News Now (YNN) for a story about sexual assault kits. Thanks to $11 million appointed by lawmakers to the Texas Department of Public Safety, thousands of untested evidence kits from sexual assault cases could soon finally be tested.
“Eighty-two percent of the people that are sexually assaulted or raped in our state don’t report it,” Busch-Armendariz said. “A large part of the no reporting is the underfunding across the board, from nurses to rape crisis centers to law enforcement to prosecutors.”
