Abstract
Because sexual abuse may often involve only the two people who know
what really happened, numerous legal issues will be at the heart of
formal judicial proceedings. Credibility and clarity are paramount.
Society, the justice system, and attorneys rightly view a non-consensual
sexual assault as a serious criminal offense. Proving the offense in court
can involve proper application of case law and Federal Rules of Evidence.
In a recent case, United States v. Parson, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 218968 (Case No. 21-CR-0112-CVE; November 12, 2021), Fed. R. Evid. 403 and Fed. R. Evid. 703 were in the spotlight.
