Washington's Attorney General warns at-home rape kit company to stop sales in the state

Washington’s Attorney General Bob Ferguson is sounding the alarm on a company that’s marketing at-home rape kits to college students.

“I find this company so predatory and dangerous,” said Leah Griffin.

Griffin is a sexual assault survivor and advocate who fought to get laws passed to clear the state’s rape kit backlog, and she’s now fighting to stop Leda Health from offering its self-administered “early evidence kits” to survivors in the state.

“What they're selling is a Q-tip in a box. They're not selling a way to gather urine, or blood or any of the other evidence you need,” said Griffin.

I can see the desire for them, which leads to the predatory sales of those, but no way.
