Forensic Evidence Findings in Prepubertal Victims of Sexual Assault

Abstract: The general guidelines for forensic evidence collection in cases of acute sexual assault are not well-suited for prepubertal victims. The decision to collect evidence is best made by the timing of the examination. Swabbing the child's body for evidence is unnecessary after 24 hours. Clothing and linens yield the majority of evidence and should be pursued vigorously for analysis.

“…As recently as 2000, published reports claim that the WL should be used in SAE to aid in the recovery of semen. 8,9 However, Santucci et al reported that in the light emitted from the standard WL (360 nm), semen does not fluoresce, and cannot be differentiated from other common products. 11 We found a more appropriate tool (the Bluemaxx BM500) to aid in semen stain identification for SAE.…”

“…It has been used to detect semen both at crime scenes [3][4][5] and during sexual assault evaluations (SAEs). [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Because the WL is inexpensive, is easy to use, and has ''accepted'' screening attributes, it has become an integral part of many emergency departments for SAE, and is commonly used by emergency personnel. In a survey of sexual assault nurse examiner programs in the United States, Ciancone et al reported that 86% (51/59) of programs used a WL for SAE.…”

“…Most often, sexual assault victims are assaulted by an acquaintance not stranger. A number of studies revealed the percentages of acquaintance assailants as changing from 56% to 78% (Christian et al, 2000;Csorba et al, 2005;Dube&Hebert, 1988;Grossin et al, 2003;Lauritsen&Meldgaard, 2000;Muram et al, 1995;Peipert,&Domagalski, 1994;Sahu et al, 2005). Most children are abused by someone they know and trust, although boys are more likely than girls to be abused outside of the family (American Medical Association, 1992;Courtois, 1988 A study in three states found 96 percent of reported rape survivors under age 12 knew the attacker.…”

“…El hallazgo de un HC acompañado de la ausencia de lesiones extragenitales, coloproctológicas y de espermios en un alto porcentaje de los casos (68%); determinan que un grupo de mujeres que denuncian ser víctima de una agresión sexual no presenten lesiones atribuibles a este delito, dificultando por tanto el peritaje que permitan al médico legista sugerir la existencia de un atentado sexual con o sin penetración vaginal ya sea parcial o total, siendo de vital importancia para mejorar el rendimiento de este procedimiento el tiempo transcurrido entre el atentado sexual y la realización del examen físico con toma de muestras (Jones et al;Kar et al;Christian et al, 2000;Lauritsen et al, 2000).…”
