X-WR-CALDESC:This presentation addresses the issues that investigators\, pr
 osecutors\, victim advocates\, and medical personal often encounter in alc
 ohol facilitated sexual assaults. Investigators and prosecutors face many 
 hurdles\, including the consent defense\, perceptions about “he said/she s
 aid” cases\, and victims suffering from memory loss\, as well as challenge
 s related to victim shame\, embarrassment\, and lack of trust in law enfor
 cement.\n\nThis means that sexual assault by intoxication cases are some o
 f the hardest and most difficult cases to investigate and prosecute. These
  challenges are not typically found in other types of crimes which adds to
  the complexity of the community response. In these cases\, first responde
 rs\, including health care professionals\, are often challenged by a victi
 m´s inability to describe the crime due to memory gaps\, or other percepti
 on difficulties caused by intoxication. Together\, these challenges can im
 pact an investigation\, and ultimately the opportunity to successfully pro
 secute a case.\n\nRecognizing and understanding these challenges will help
  improve the criminal justice response while advocates and health care pro
 fessions will be better able to support victims of these crimes.  However\
 , understanding victims and how these crimes occur is only half the battle
 \; getting a case into the courtroom is the other half. Many victims of al
 cohol-facilitated sexual assault delay reporting\, often leaving investiga
 tors with the perception that they have little to no evidence. Yet another
  challenge is the misperception that false reporting is common\, which has
  a significant impact on the investigation and prosecution of sexual assau
 lt. During this session\, the presenters will share their 25+ years of exp
 erience\, and lessons learned\, to overcome many of these challenges.\n\nO
 BJECTIVES\nAs a result of this webinar\, participants will be better able 
 to:\n\nEvaluate and analyze the applicability of the consent defense to th
 e case facts\nUnderstand the unique credibility issues present in an intox
 ication rape case\, and how to overcome juror skepticism.\nRecognize the d
 ifferences in approaching an acquaintance versus stranger rape by intoxica
 tion case.\nDecide what types of evidence will be most valuable to prove t
 he case\, depending on the delay between the crime and the disclosure.
