    Why would you pursue it by yourself? I’m not trying to sound judgemental with that question but what purpose does it serve other than evidence gathering?

      Of course it’s speculation but the article didn’t mention police. If the police weren’t involved maybe it’s as simple as not wanting to pay for a test which might not even serve as evidence.

        What’s the point of getting the kit done at all if the police aren’t involved? Isn’t that what they’re for? To collect evidence of the crime.

        Well if everything in our justice system worked as intended it should lead to a criminal prosecution. Which is why law enforcement should be paying for it. Expecting the victim to do so is asinine.
