Traumatised by a sex attack in a park, a teenage girl was at least comforted by the likelihood the man would be identified by DNA.
Priya Francome-Wood, 17, had kicked and struggled free after he lay on top of her.
Police said they were in no doubt she had managed to escape a serious sex attack.
They took away her skirt and T-shirt, telling her 'a surprising amount of DNA' can be transferred in such cases.
But five days later Miss Francome-Wood's hopes were shattered by a phone call from police in Bournemouth, where she was attacked during a weekend visit to a friend.
To her horror, they said they could not justify spending £500 on DNA testing.
If the taking and storage of our DNA is so imortant for the detection and prevention of crime and the prosecution thereof, why do the police consider the DNA testing of an obvious assault not worth DNA-testing?
Answers on a postage stamp.
