The Cumberland County District Attorney's office is receiving a $2.5 million federal grant to test sexual assault kits.
The kits can contain evidence that links to perpetrators of sexual assault, but historically, there's been a backlog of untested kits across the country.
DA Jacquelyn Sartoris said the three-year grant will ensure all kits currently held in Cumberland County will be tested and investigated. She also expects it will prevent future backlogs.
