• Abstract:

  The Project: ``Backlog of Traces of Sexual Crimes`` was created by the Management Committee of the Integrated Network of Genetic Profile Banks, which directed investments to supply equipment and inputs to the States of the Federation that had presented targets for processing their related liabilities to sexual crimes. The Forensic Molecular Genetics Laboratory (LGMF) of the Scientific Police of the State of Paraná committed to processing two thousand traces of its liabilities, thus being awarded the automated platform: ID STARlet Hamilton. Traces of sexual crimes that occurred between 2010 and 2021 were processed, originating from approximately 900 victims. Differential lysis was performed manually, while purification and other steps took place on the platform: ID STARlet Hamilton. In a period of less than a year, after installing the equipment received by the National Public Security Secretariat, the LGMF completed the processing and analysis of the two thousand traces it initially proposed. Thus, 786 male genetic profiles were entered into the National Genetic Profiles Bank (BNPG), resulting in 350 coincidences observed, involving 196 victims. Furthermore, the intersection of these matches generated 79 Coincidence Reports, covering coincidences with: other states, convicts, identified suspects and cases with no suspects yet. The Backlog of Sexual Crime Traces Project allowed a significant increase in the Genetic Profiles Database of the Scientific Police of Paraná, which was ranked 3rd in the national ranking of absolute number of traces entered into the BNPG in 2021.
