SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) — Prosecutors have charged a man with kidnapping and raping a 14-year-old Seattle girl in 2007 after delayed testing of her decade-old rape kit turned up a DNA match.

Seattlepi.com reports that 52-year-old Darin Bolar, who was previously convicted for child rape in 1993, was charged Monday in King County Superior Court.

The attorney general’s office has announced that law enforcement agencies in Washington are holding over 6,000 sexual assault kits that have not yet been sent to labs for testing.
