“…SANE training involves learning to document injuries (both genital and non‐genital), collect and preserve forensic evidence, provide emotional support to the victim and family, test for sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy, and refer victims to appropriate counseling (Horner et al, ). Also, SANEs receive specific training in providing courtroom testimony and can testify in court as factual or expert witnesses (Ledray & Barry, ). Thus, SANEs can serve as a valuable resource for legal personnel in the investigation of sexual assaults.…”

The present study investigated the influence of a sexual assault nurse examiner's (SANE's) testimony on mock juror perceptions of a child or adolescent victim of child sexual assault. Community members (N = 252, 156 females) read a fictional criminal trial summary of a child sexual assault case in which the victim was 6 or 15 years old and the prosecution presented medical testimony from a SANE or a traditional registered nurse (RN), or did not present medical testimony. Mock jurors were more likely to render guilty verdicts when a SANE testified compared with the other two testimony conditions. In addition, pro-victim judgments (e.g., sympathy toward the victim) and negative defendant judgments (e.g., anger toward the defendant) mediated this relation. Finally, cognitive network representations of the case demonstrated that the RN and no-medical-testimony groups were similar and the SANE group was distinct from the other two conditions. We discuss these results in terms of the implications of SANE testimony in child sexual assault court cases.

“…If a sexual assault case goes to trial, SANEs can be called on to provide factual or expert witness testimony (Ledray & Barry, 1998). SANEs are thus a unique resource in this sense because they receive training in providing courtroom testimony, whereas other medical professionals do not.…”

The perception of a sexual assault nurse examiner's (SANE) testimony in a criminal rape trial was investigated. Men and women undergraduates (N = 138) read a fictional criminal trial summary of a rape case in which medical testimony from a SANE or a registered nurse (RN) was presented, or no medical testimony was presented. Results indicated that mock jurors were more likely to render guilty verdicts when a SANE testified than when an RN testified, and this relationship was fully mediated by perceived credibility of the nurse as well as provictim perceptions. Results are discussed in terms of the impact of SANE involvement in legal proceedings.
