Tested after 14 years, rape kit incriminates ex-Memphis cop who now works at kids home

A former Memphis police officer has been charged with raping a crime victim 14 years after the assault occurred.
Bridges Randle, 40, was indicted for aggravated rape for the 14-year-old crime thanks to a previously-untested rape kit that finally made it into the national crime database last year, WMC reported on Wednesday.
According to investigators, officers responded to a domestic violence call from a woman on June 24, 2000. The 23-year-old woman said that a man posing as an officer returned later in the day to ask her more questions.
She said that the man forced her into a bedroom, and raped her at gunpoint.

Not much info in the article. Maybe the case is still open because they are only now getting around to processing the rape kit.
