SALT LAKE CITY â A product meant to be a way for sexual assault victims to collect DNA evidence without going to a police station or hospital may soon be banned in Utah.
It s a legislative battle between people claiming to be fighting for the same cause.
A company called Leda Health wants to make what they call âself-use sexual assault kits.â These kits haven t been manufactured, let alone sold yet, but some of Utahâs most prominent victim advocates worry that what s being sold is false hope.
