(Feb. 27, 2017) – Attorney General Andy Beshear announced today that his office will transfer $30,000 to the Kentucky State Police Crime Lab to help end the state’s rape kit backlog.
The money is the amount of interest accumulated to date from the multimillion-dollar Risperdal settlement. The Attorney General’s office alleged Johnson & Johnson dishonestly marketed its drug Risperdal to patients and the medical community in Kentucky. In order to maximize the use of the settlement funds, Beshear’s office placed the money in interest-bearing accounts. “I am committed to securing justice for every victim whose kit has not been tested,” Beshear said. “Through good fiscal management, our transfer will test more kits and speed up that justice.” The $30,000, which would cover the cost of testing nearly 50 kits, is the first payment to KSP from the interest on the settlement funds. Beshear expects to give KSP additional payments. Upon taking office, Beshear made ending Kentucky’s backlog and providing justice for victims of sexual assault a top priority. Beshear’s office has been partnering with lawmakers, law enforcement and advocates to end Kentucky’s Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence kit or SAFE kit backlog since the spring when Senate Bill 63 was passed that directed the 3,000-plus untested kits to be tested. Beshear recommended and provided $4.5 million from the Risperdal settlement to lawmakers for Kentucky State Police Crime Lab upgrades to prevent the state’s safe kit backlog. His office provided an additional $1 million from the settlement to aid law enforcement and prosecutors in the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases. The Attorney General’s Office has held a summit for those working to end Kentucky’s safe kit backlog, and is currently partnering to train law enforcement officials on how to conduct victim-centered investigations and prosecute sexual assault offenders. The office is partnering with the University of Louisville’s Department of Criminal Justice to provide accountability in Kentucky’s safe kit backlog efforts. Beshear’s office is sponsoring a conference for prosecutors April 11-13 on handling cold case sexual assault cases. Additionally, there is a toolkit available to law enforcement officials and advocates. “We appreciate the hard work being done by KSP employees at the lab to inventory untested kits and to encourage departments to submit all kits in accordance with the Safe Act,” Beshear said. “Addressing Kentucky’s safe kit backlog will not be possible without collaboration, and I recognize the work and commitment of all our partners.” FRANKFORT, Ky.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 14, 2017 – Citizen Foster Care Review Boards in 37 Kentucky counties are seeking volunteers to make a difference in the lives of local children in foster care and other out-of-home care. The boards are in need of volunteers to review cases of children placed in care because of dependency, neglect or abuse to ensure they are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
The counties in need of volunteers are Barren, Boyle, Bracken, Butler, Christian, Clay, Crittenden, Edmonson, Fayette, Floyd, Grayson, Hancock, Hardin, Hart, Jefferson, Knott, Laurel, Lawrence, Lincoln, Livingston, Logan, Lyon, Magoffin, Mason, Monroe, Muhlenberg, Oldham, Perry, Powell, Russell, Simpson, Taylor, Todd, Trigg, Trimble, Warren and Wayne. Volunteers are not required to live in these counties. The Kentucky General Assembly created the state CFCRB in 1982 as a way to decrease the time children spend in out-of-home care. CFCRB volunteers review Cabinet for Health and Family Services files on children placed in out-of-home care and work with the cabinet and courts on behalf of the state’s foster children. The volunteer reviewers help ensure that children receive the necessary services while in out-of-home care and are ultimately placed in permanent homes. All volunteers must complete a six-hour initial training session. Potential volunteers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible so they may be scheduled for training in their area. The next training sessions for the counties listed will take place March 3 in Jefferson County, March 17 in Warren County, April 1 in Fayette County, April 22 in Pulaski County and April 29 in Boone County. All potential volunteers must consent to a criminal record and Central Registry check. A recommendation is then made to the chief judge of the District Court or Family Court for appointment.
