Why do they take your clothes during the rape exam?

Checking for DNA : In addition to the care and comfort of the victim of a rape it is important to look for evidence which may lead to the capture of the perpetrator of this assault. The clothes may have evidence of body fluids which will contain dna which can lead to the identification of the person who committed the rape.

Samples: The clothes may contain evidence useful in a rape prosecution. There may be semen samples, blood stains and tissue which can be given genetic analysis to confirm the identity of the rapist.
