After a change in Georgia law, Gainesville police have taken possession of more sexual assault examination kits performed at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, even those involving cases almost an hour outside of the city’s jurisdiction. “With the changes regarding the sexual assault kits, it really has expedited things,” Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said. After Senate Bill 304 became effective July 1, law enforcement was required to take possession of sexual assault examination kits “no later than 96 hours of being notified.”
