FOR UNREPORTED OR ANONYMOUS KITS COLLECTED:
Under state law, if the victim consented to the collection of the sexual assault examination kit, but the victim has not consented
to participate in the criminal justice process by reporting the crime to a law enforcement agency send kits to the Department
of Public Safety Law Enforcement Support Services (LESS) warehouse for storage, instead of sending them to the Crime Lab.
N.C.G.S. 15A-266.5A.
FOR KITS COLLECTED ON OR PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 2018 AND DETERMINED THROUGH MULTI-
DISCIPLINARY TEAM REVIEW AT A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY TO BE “UNFOUNDED”:
For kits collected on or before January 1, 2018, the law enforcement agency may determine - after a comprehensive case
review and after complete review by the multi-disciplinary review team (MDT) established under the Survivor Act - that
based on clear and convincing evidence, a crime did not occur. Any such kits should not be sent to the Crime Lab, but instead
should be stored by the law enforcement agency along with a brief summary indicating the information and evidence
supporting the determination. If, after this determination, the law enforcement agency receives any information or evidence
that creates value for testing the kit, it shall send it to the Crime Lab as soon as possible. N.C.G.S. 15A-266.5A(d)(3)(b).
ATTENTION:
If at any time it is determined that a crime has not been committed for any kit previously submitted for testing, please
contact the State Crime Laboratory.
