SEATTLE - It's an issue that FOX 13 has been tracking for months, a massive backlog in testing sexual assault kits. Now the state attorney general has announced that backlog has finally been cleared.
Attorney General Bob Ferguson says more than 10,000 kits have been tested, some after languishing in law enforcement evidence rooms across the state for decades.
The attorney general says 99% of the kits have now been tested, and the remaining kits are currently in the testing process. He says it's already resulted in arrests and prosecutions statewide.
