No rape kit was taken, meaning she and the others delayed making a charge until well after it happened. That's the critical evidence in any rape investigation. It's all he-said, she-said after that. It's too bad they never bothered to get one done. Had they gone to Sex Crimes and done so, he'd already be headed to prison.

Either way, PSU and PIU aren't really needed in a sex crimes case involving physical evidence. Having command staff willing to pay the price of getting rape kits processed is much more important. LMPD didn't have that until it was forced by others.
