Nessel: MeToo at-home sexual assault test kit is 'shamelessly' trying to take advantage of survivors
Nessel's office said the company is marketing a sexual assault evidence kit described as the "first ever sexual assault evidence kit for at-home use." Nessel said the kits would prevent sexual assault survivors from getting necessary health care services after an assault. "This company is shamelessly trying to take financial advantage of the Me Too' movement by luring victims into thinking that an at-home-do-it-yourself sexual assault kit will stand up in court," Nessel said. According to a news release, sexual assault evidence collection kits are free in Michigan to anyone who seeks medical attention for a sexual assault within 120 hours of the assault. The evidence kit is included in a sexual assault medical forensic examination.
