Prosecuting Alcohol-Facilitated Sexual Assault (2007)

Abstract

This monograph discusses the prosecution of AFSA with a specific focus on AFSA when the victim is voluntarily intoxicated. It begins with a basic overview of toxicology. Next, it suggests a three-step process for prosecuting AFSA cases: (1) making the charging decision; (2) analyzing credibility and corroboration; and (3) trying the case. Finally, the mono- graph provides techniques for overcoming common defenses. (palabras claves: ministerio público, delitos sexuales, alcohol)
