California sexual assault survivors can track status of evidence kits via online portal

OCRegister
LOS ANGELES — California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Tuesday announced the hiring of the state’s first-ever sexual assault evidence outreach coordinator and the launch of a new online portal to allow survivors to track the status of their evidence kits.

“My office is committed to doing everything in our power to support survivors, reduce harm and secure justice,” he said. “That’s exactly what the new actions we’re announcing today are all about — increasing access to the information to which survivors are entitled under the law and supporting our local partners in their efforts to process sexual assault evidence.”

The outreach coordinator, Dr. Sarai Crain, will work directly with law enforcement, medical facilities and other partner organizations to support local efforts to track and process sexual assault evidence.

The portal is accessible online at https://kitstatus.doj.ca.gov. Individuals without a sexual assault evidence kit number should contact the relevant law enforcement agency and, if necessary, may find additional information through DOJ’s Victims’ Services Unit.
