DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) -A Houston woman said her rape may have been prevented if it had been investigated properly and evidence from previous victims had been tested.
After waiting five years for charges against her accuser, one woman is suing the city of Houston saying authorities showed deliberate indifference by allowing a backlog of untested rape kits. The Houston Chronicle reports Beverly Flores joined a lawsuit filed by Dejenay Beckwith, alleging that both attacks in 2011 were not properly investigated.
Both women allege that the DNA for their assailants could have been matched in the criminal data-base much sooner. Beckwith says her assault might not have happened if previous rape kits had been processed.
