Texas Charging Victims for Rape Kits

Via Think Progress:

Texas is charging rape victims who cooperate with police

Another reminder of America's short attention span--there was such an outcry about this practice in Alaska during Sarah Palin's VP run, but now, six months later, the same thing is continuing to happen elsewhere in the country. And this time, without it being tied to a media magnet like Palin, the story is unlikely to receive half as much critical attention...When will we stop treating rape victims like criminals?
