Women Sue Police Over Failures in Sex Assault Cases
Women in at least seven places — Austin; San Francisco; Memphis; Houston; Baltimore; Greenwich, Ct.; and Robbins, Il. — have sued in an effort to force the police and prosecutors to improve their practices in handling sexual assault cases. The charges include evidence so neglected it grew mold, calls to police that went unanswered, and witnesses and victims who were never interviewed.
