Another sobering reality: of the rape kits that had previously gone untested, some 86 percent of the victims were people of color—primarily girls and women. As Worthy puts it, “You’re not going to find too many blond-haired, blue-eyed white women [with untested kits]….Their kits are treated differently, their cases are solved….Race is at the center of this in many ways as well, unfortunately; we know that across the criminal justice system.”
