BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

There were no rape kits.. ..

I needed to know when they were developed:

Developed in the late 1970s, sexual assault medical forensic exams (commonly known as “rape kits”) are intended to assist in the adjudication of sexual assault cases. Nurses allied with the anti-rape movement have led advocacy efforts to promote the adoption of rape kits in hospital emergency departments. Like other medical procedures, sexual assault medical forensic exams are conducted according to guidelines and protocols that lay out evidence collection routines and classify the physical injuries associated with the incident.
