    Study Notes

    Sexual Offenses

    • Sexual offenses include behaviors deviating from typical sexual attraction, such as fetishes (arousal from objects or body parts), sadism/masochism (pleasure from inflicting/receiving pain), necrophilia (attraction to corpses), transvestism (dressing in opposite sex clothing), exhibitionism (exposing oneself), voyeurism (pleasure from watching others), and pedophilia (attraction to children).
    • Rape involves non-consensual sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral penetration by penis or object).
    • Statutory rape is sexual intercourse with a minor, even if consensual.
    • Marital rape is non-consensual sex by a spouse.
    • Incest is sexual relations between family members.
    • Bestiality involves sexual acts with animals.

    Natural Sex Offense

    • These are activities considered against natural order, such as bestiality (sex with animals).

    Unnatural Sex Offenses

    • These sexual activities are considered deviations from natural behavior and order.

    Examination of Victims

    • Examining victims involves assessing injuries, medical conditions (like STIs), and mental impairments (like unconsciousness due to drugs or alcohol, conditions that hinder the ability to resist, or age).
    • Analyzing victim's actions (like cleaning themselves or changing clothes) is crucial.

    Proof of Rape

    • Physical evidence like injuries, sperm presence, and STDs can prove rape.
    • Loss of virginity/hymen damage, injuries, and penetration/ejaculation are assessed (sperm generally stays up to 7 days, or up to a week in a deceased body).
    • Pregnancy is a possible consequence of rape.

    Signs of Violence

    • Bruises, bite marks, grip marks on arms, and struggles in a body's position are signs of physical violence.
    • Other indicators include injuries to the face, neck, hemorrhage on eyes, and STDs present.

    Other

    • The condition of the victim (if the victim cleaned themselves or changed clothes, if there was visible violence, etc.) is important to consider.
    • Whether the victim was unconscious or had impairments in resistance due to drugs, age, or other conditions.

    Judgment of Defenselessness

    • Factors like unconsciousness from drugs, age (< 12), and mental health conditions (psychopathology) affect victim's ability to resist; and are considered.
    • Physical restraints during alleged violence are taken into account.

    Photographs

    • Photographs of the scene, the body (including injuries), and the conditions (physical evidence and observations) are crucial for documentation.
