The woman whose DNA from a sexual assault case was used by San Francisco police to arrest her in an unrelated property crime plans to sue the city, her attorney said Thursday.
SAN FRANCISCO —
Pointer declined to identify his client. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they choose to be named. “This is the ultimate betrayal and re-victimization at the hands of authorities and people that she sought help and protection from," Pointer said.
He said at a police commission meeting last week that he’s discovered 17 crime victim profiles, 11 of them from rape kits, that were matched using a crime victims database during unrelated investigations, KTVU-TV reported. Scott said he believes the only arrest was that of the woman planning to sue the city.
