Coming soon to your television set (or later to your Netflix binge): Vice President Joe Biden. Biden’s appearance will focus on the backlog of untested rape kits, according to the White House. Biden has collaborated with “Law & Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay on advocacy efforts several times in the past. He’ll tape an appearance Friday on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” the popular and long-running procedural drama that focuses on sex crimes. Biden announced plans last fall to award nearly $80 million in grants toward eliminating the backlog of untested rape kits, in a combined effort between the federal government and the New York County District Attorney’s office.
