Discuss the three common sexual assault situations and the common defense strategies associated with them.
What will be an ideal response?
First, the victim and the perpetrator know each other. A common defense strategy is that the victim consented. Through a victim’s statement, documentation of injuries, the use of a weapon, the circumstances of the crime, and the age of the victim, a lack of consent can be established. Second, the victim and perpetrator do not know each other, but the victim has described the perpetrator. Common defense strategies include that the assault did not happen or the police have the wrong person. Third, the perpetrator was a stranger and lacked a sufficient description from the victim. A common defense strategy is a wrong identification.
