Sarah Palin Charged Rape Victims For Forensic Tests

So awful it sounds like bullshit, right? It’s not.

Sarah Palin likes to brag that part of her “executive experience” was being the Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska from 1996-2002. Well, in 2000 the town of Wasilla began charging women who claimed to be raped for their own forensic testing. Seemed Sarah & Co., decided that they wanted to save the tax payers the estimated $5000-$14,000 per year that these tests cost the city.

From the Valley Frontiersman:

While the Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies have covered the cost of exams, which cost between $300 to $1,200 apiece, the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests.

Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon does not agree with the new (state-wide) legislation (outlawing the practice of charging victims for their tests), saying the law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.

In the past we’ve charged the cost of exams to the victims insurance company when possible. I just don’t want to see any more burden put on the taxpayer, Fannon said.

Sarah Palin was mayor of this town. She and McCain are leading in the polls among white women by 12 points!
