Every child sexual abuse case has corroborating evidence, but often child protection professionals do not fully develop this critical piece. Presented by a former prosecutor, this workshop will focus on several underutilized avenues of corroboration, with an emphasis on digital evidence, social media, and maximizing corroborative evidence at trial. Attendance at this workshop meets the prerequisite requirement to register for and attend "Immersive Investigation: Crime Scene Skills," Zero Abuse Project's Experiential Crime Scene session.
Learning Objectives:
List common repositories for corroborative digital evidence.
Leverage the utility of social media in child sexual abuse investigations.
Describe trial tactics to maximize the value of corroborative evidence.
