After I'd speak to the victim, they'd receive a medical exam from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE).
(1/25) A number of Silicon Valley investors are putting their money and influence into a campaign to gaslight rape victims into not seeking medical treatment
despite the warnings of top law enforcement officials
and NOBODY is talking about this.
After I'd speak to the victim, they'd receive a medical exam from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE).
The victim may also receive:
- counseling (hello!)
- treatment for (potentially invisible) injuries
- medications like Plan B and emergency antiretroviral therapy for HIV prophylaxis.
which is possibly the most HARMFUL startup idea that I have ever heard of.
Furthermore, rape kits in a hospital are protected. There needs to be a strong "chain of custody" or the kit will not be admissible in any court.
Such a kit cannot be admissible in court and may harm other efforts to collect evidence.
Leda Health used to be called "MeToo Kits" and they were widely panned in the press for both their tasteless name and their nonsensical plan.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued a cease-and-desist to MeToo Kits under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act--arguing that MeToo Kits "misleads victims."

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia and 15 colleagues sent a letter to Madison and MeToo Kits warning about the medical and legal issues of DIY rape kits.
https://t.co/TPC64uSmuD
but as per the attorneys general and district attorneys, she doesn't have to.
The kits are misleading nonetheless.
Campbell rebranded "MeToo Kits" to "Leda Health" and started raising money.
They just redesigned their website, and Campbell is a featured case study.
Later, Campbell insisted in an interview that the kits would be "encrypted and backed with blockchain technology."
as if that were the real problem.
https://t.co/3ZTVBDweA7
but they don't solve the chain of custody issue for biological evidence of a crime.
DIY kits or "the blockchain" will **NEVER** achieve this, and Campbell is being misleading about this to raise money.
Last August, they applied for a USPTO trademark for marketing rape kits.

given Madison Campbell's commitment to selling inadmissible kits
even after being censured by law enforcement officials and members of Congress,
we can't trust her to not break the law in the future.
DIY kits or the goddamn "blockchain" are false flags. Their marketing misleads rape victims and is a danger to the justice system.
