[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A woman is suing the city of San Francisco after police used the DNA from her sexual assault case — which she gave to help catch her rapist! — to arrest her for an unrelated property crime.
The victim, who chooses to remain anonymous, filed a lawsuit against the city Monday after the San Francisco Police Department searched their crime lab database to tie the DNA from her 2016 rape case to a burglary which took place in late 2021, according to ABC News.
She explained in a March statement to KTVU: How traumatic for this poor woman to have such sensitive information, from a VERY sensitive situation, used against her.
Even if she allegedly committed a crime, this kind of practice doesn’t seem ethical at all. You’re gonna accuse someone of a crime by getting her DNA through your own unethical means? Related: Armie Hammer Victim Claims House of Hammer Exploits Her ‘Trauma’ We’re not the only ones put off by this.
