Police in Houston are currently reviewing DNA testing in connection with over 4,000 sexual assault and sex crime cases that were dropped due to staffing issues. These cases, which span the past eight years, were part of more than 264,000 incident reports that were never investigated due to a lack of available personnel.
During a recent news conference, it was revealed that out of the 4,000 sexual assault cases, more than 1,100 had sexual assault kits that were tested for DNA. Additionally, nearly 5,100 incident reports related to indecent assaults and exposures were reviewed, with 57 of them having DNA kits tested.
