Very tricky due to internet sources aging, but here's a snapshot of an article discussing that testimony.

I don't see where that supports

the last actual legally forced sterilization in the US was in the early 80s, in Oregon

What do you mean by "testimony"?
I don't believe anyone was charged with destroying records.

The term "testimony" doesn't only refer to legal proceedings.
