The San Francisco Police Dept. is accused of using DNA from rape and sexual assault victims to identify possible crime suspects in a practice that the city’s district attorney calls “legally and ethically wrong.”
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin called the alleged practice "legally and ethically wrong."
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said in a statement Monday that his office had demanded an immediate end to the alleged practice, which he said “treats victims like evidence, not human beings.” It isn’t clear how long the practice is alleged to have been used or how many suspects are alleged to have been identified using it.
