This is just too despicable. The State of Texas is making rape victims pay for evidence. There's a little over $66 million in the coffers to help victims. The money is to pay for the rape kits that are performed at hospitals. Sometimes the police department will pick up part of the tab, and then the State picks up the rest.
However, that's not happening. These victims are forced to re-live their horrible experiences by being forced to pay for it.
