In the matter of the 'Kevin Brown Betrayal':
The previous post is contradictory. On the one hand, "...I would expect this to be something women working there would just not be aware of" employees contributing semen standards. On the other hand, "...perhaps some women, would talk freely about it among themselves...".
At the least, it seems old fashioned to say that female crime lab employees will not be in the loop and that such matters need to be kept secret from them. A couple hundred years ago, there were indeed standards about what was lady-like, and such matters would not have been discussed in front of women in polite society. Today, this could be considered a sexist comment. Consider who is involved here. Female crime lab analysts use science to fight for justice for the victims of crimes. Do you really want to tell them, like Jack Nicholson, "You can't handle the truth!"?
Anyway, it has already been pointed out in this thread in Post #66 (Reference #3) that the spouses of female crime lab employees can donate semen standards:
At NASA in 1962, there seemed to be some doubt that women could contribute on an equal basis with men. A black female mathematician was not initially invited to a NASA mission briefing. Below is her response to that.

'Hidden Figures' may feature NASA's history, but it resonates in the present

When NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson asks to join a high-level briefing in the run-up to astronaut John Glenns historic 1962 flight in the film Hidden Figures, an engineer rushes to shut the idea down.
Theres no protocol for women attending, he replies an excuse that Johnson quickly bats aside.
Theres no protocol for a man circling the Earth either, sir, she says.
That conversation sketches the two-front battle fought by NASAs black female mathematicians and engineers as they worked toward a Cold War victory: beating the Soviet Union at the space race and overcoming the many layers of prejudice in the Jim Crow South.

Stephanie Fowler, who manages Georgias DNA database, testified supervisors at the lab, which has employees or their husbands donate semen for quality-control samples, became alarmed last year when the same control sample twice tainted crime-scene evidence, once in a 2011 Atlanta case unrelated to the stranglings.
