Before new judges preside in an adult victim sexual assault case or a case of co-occurring domestic violence and sexual abuse, they should know that these cases present unique challenges, and that there are resources to assist judges in meeting them. New Judges Orientation programs are often filled with administrative, procedural and substantive information. This is not the time to present a full-scale program about adult victim sexual assault cases. It is the time to alert new judges to the challenges and resources.
This document highlights certain types of sexual assault evidence and presents it within the historical treatment of native populations, jurisdictional problems and prevalence of violence.
"This resource provides information on the different responses that individuals who are sexually assaulted display as well as the different coping strategies of victims."
