I don't want to be your friend if your first reaction is to blame the victim when someone reports sexual assault.

Rape victims in Mississippi often wait years before officials test rape kits that could identify their attackers with some even stashed in the trunks of law-enforcement vehicles, but state lawmakers could change that this year. The Mississippi Legislature may also close decades-only spousal rape loopholes in state law.
At the Mississippi Capitol, Mississippi Center for Violence Prevention Executive Director Sandy Middleton said she spoke with an unnamed law-enforcement officer who currently has 50 untested rape kits in a refrigerator, “and some of them have been there for a year and a half.” Of those 50 kits, about 15 are related to child-rape cases, she said during a Feb. 21 press briefing.
In 2019, the Jackson Police Department said it alone had more than 600 untested sexual abuse and rape kits, some a decade old at the time. State law currently does not require agencies to test the kits.
“All kits must be delivered to the Mississippi Forensics Laboratory no later than seven (7) calendar days from the date the law enforcement agency took physical possession of 73 the kit,” the bill states. “The Mississippi Forensics Laboratory shall test sexual assault evidence collection kits within forty-five (45) days of receipt from a law enforcement agency.”
Rep. Angela Cockerham, I-Magnolia, is sponsoring it, with Reps. Dana McLean, R-Columbus; Jill Ford, R-Madison; and Otis Anthony, D-Indianola, serving as co-sponsors.
The Mississippi House advanced H.B. 485 in a 117-0 vote on Feb. 2, and the Mississippi Senate Judiciary Division A Committee advanced it to the Senate floor on Feb. 28 where it awaits a vote before a legislative deadline Wednesday.

Marital rape could become illegal in Mississippi under a new bill that clarifies the definition of rape.
State law currently defines rape as the "ravishing any
female of previous chaste character"; the new bill would define rape far more explicitly.It would also require a medical facility conducting forensic examination and preparing the sexual-assault evidence collection kit to inform a law enforcement agency for retrieval within four hours. Then, after receiving a call from a medical facility, the law enforcement agency would have 24 hours to obtain the kit, with the option to refrigerate it within two hours or to transport it immediately to the Mississippi Forensics Laboratory.
Previously rape victims in Mississippi often wait years sometimes even decades before officials test rape kits that could identify their attackers.

Yes, what ur thinking right now is right.
Previously the law only defined only rape of 'virgins' as rape.
Very progressive don't u think?

Six female ministry colleagues also came forward to denounce similar attacks and will also be compensated as part of the court's ruling, though the amounts were not disclosed.
D.B. later admitted to the newspaper Liberation that he had drugged '10 or 20' women and claimed that 'I wished I had been stopped earlier'.

'At the start of the interview he offered her a cafe, which she drank, and then invited her for a walk outside in the Tuileries Garden' near the ministry headquarters, the court said in its ruling.
'Rapidly feeling pain and a strong need to urinate,' the woman was forced to go to the bathroom in front of D.B. under a bridge, and was later hospitalised with a urinary tract infection, the court said.
An investigation found that D.B. had similarly preyed on dozens of women over a period of several years, keeping on his computer a list of his victims and often photos of them urinating, though the ministry said it had not been aware of his druggings.
But the plaintiff accused the ministry of being partly to blame, due to 'poor organisation of the culture ministry's services and the absence of any process for protecting the victims and hearing their claims.'
