How does fantasy play a part in the decision of what to list in the search warrant when searching the home of a suspected rapist or sexual assault suspect?

What will be an ideal response?


Because fantasy is strongly associated with sexual assault, search warrant applications should include a list of the materials they would expect to recover from an offender who indulged in sexual fantasies, such as sadistic pornography, drawings, videotapes, women's lingerie and clothing, and fantasy stories featuring sexual sadism. Sexual sadists may be obsessed with keeping trophies and recordings of the assaults.
Therefore, any search warrant applications in such cases should include photographs, records, scripts, letters, diaries, audiotapes, videotapes, and newspaper reports of the crimes as possible evidence to be seized.
