sex crime

This morning, a dementing lady in her 70s is brought in by the staff of the OPH where she lives. Over the weekend she accused a fellow inmate of sexually molesting her. The police were called, who promptly set the whole rape-kit thing in train, swabs, fingerprints, taking the bedding away for DNA analysis, etc. Today, however, and I should imagine this may impede the investigation somewhat, she remembers absolutely nothing of the incident. Thus all the old Bill's efforts will probably come to naught. Not that I don't think allegations like this shouldn't be investigated, but let's face it, she's not going to make a very convincing witness. However, if someone's semen is found on her bedding, it is suddenly going to get a lot more interesting.

As it turns out, she was only coming to me with a bad back...
