NEW HAVEN – A 17-year-old girl who reported a sexual assault in July was told by New Haven Police detectives who met with her in August that her rape kit evidence would be tested in two to three months. Connecticut law requires police officers to submit such evidence to the state Forensic Science Laboratory in Meriden within 10 days of collection. Then, testing must occur within 60 days.
