If the guy had raped the CEO first, do you think they'd suddenly fly through all those rape kits?
No, they'd skip everyone in the backlog and do the wealthy person's....
The difference isn't the crime, it's the social standing of the victim.
Like, there's been other murders in NYC, which would have also left this kind of evidence, they don't check those either.
I guess I was thinking those rape kits might help solve that hypothetical case but I suppose not.
No worries, when they're brought up a common complaint is there could very likely be a fraction of rapists as there are victims.
Because serial rapists are a thing, and the open knowledge that cops don't care about them unless the victim is high social standing means they're likely to keep doing it.
But that still doesn't get cops to look at a backlog in those few cases to see if there's matches. People that habitually prey on others know that if you target the rich, the cops actually try. So with a high profile victim, it's more likely to be staged as random crime of opportunity as to really be random.
If you look back on serial killers/rapists that were caught, it's pretty common for them to be caught because one of their victims was from "middle class" or higher, and the vast majority of victims were from disadvantaged communities.
So there's a lot going on with the topic.
In for a penny, in for a pound: maybe he'll "slip up" and imply that he's a serial rapist, then refuse to answer any further questions about it. Make them search the evidence.
That video would be uploaded on pornhub and many straight man might find it interesting
