Sexual assault victims get evidence status updates

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma law requires investigating law enforcement agencies to give sexual assault victims evidence updates upon request. Victims can learn whether testing produced a DNA profile, whether it entered the CODIS DNA database, and whether a confirmed match exists. Updates require a specific request from the victim or their advocate. The agency may require a written request. It does not have to release evidence, information, or results that would hinder or compromise an ongoing criminal investigation.
