PRESSING COMPLAINT: Salisa Harrison (right) with her mother Cheryl Ellis during interview in Little rock.


Salisa Luster Harrison,
who now lives in Little Rock, Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit in Louisville, Ky., alleging multiple failures by the Louisville police investigating a sexual assault of her more than 10 years ago.

The lawsuit — filed by attorneys including Mike Laux, who’s been active in Little Rock cases recently — failed to collect evidence, failed to do rape kit testing and generally responded poorly, if at all, to her complaints. She said she believes race was part of the reason.
