Public officials call sexual assault stories 'horrific'

Legislators and law enforcement leaders across the political spectrum expressed outrage Monday at reports of breakdowns in the investigation of sexual assault in Minnesota and called for measures to guarantee justice for women who report rape.

"These stories of sexual assault are horrific," said state Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, chairman of the Senate Public Safety Committee. "It's indefensible that cases like these, with ample evidence, would go uninvestigated."
