The type of perpetrator who sexually assaults children are not profiled as the same or come wrapped in a box they are different and are classified individually. They are ruthless and whatever name of classification they are given the bottom line is if they sexually assaulted a child, they need to be identified, classified, prosecuted, incarcerated, and if they are ever released from prison they will be one of the million registered sex offendersin the United States.

Individuals who sexually assault children can be profiled in that they can be anyone beginning their sexual assaults as early as the age of nine years of age; sometimes even younger. These young pedophiles generally sexually assault other children because they were sexually assaulted and begin preying on children their age or younger.

The reactions of being sexually assaulted may find the child acting out sexually or regressing into having psychological and physiological problems, most of the time dealing with depression, suicidal ideations, and so forth. Sometimes a child who is sexually assaulted believes that if they were inappropriately touched and their body enjoyed the feelings of the touching, touching others is something they may want to explore thoroughly.

If this occurs the type of touching may become aggressively intense, violent, and may lead to a child murdering another child. It happens more often than Americans realize. Children are easy targets and they should be classified as innocent and vulnerable; easily preyed upon by older and stronger individuals who seek them out because they know they can intimate, threaten, and control the child.

The seventh characteristic of “Daly’s Twelve Investigative Characteristics To Finding The Truth” is Classifying. Once a fingerprint is located, identified, processed, analyzed, the fingerprint expert will classify what type of fingerprint it is. In child sexual assault investigations (CSAI) the type of crime is classified as being a specific law was violated. The common classifications of crimes are:

1.      Child Molestation

2.      Rape

3.      Communicating With A Minor

4.      Assault With Sexual Motivation

5.      Other

These five criminal laws classifications provide specify elements for each crime to have been committed. Under each law in order to prove that the perpetrated committed the specific crime, the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the perpetrator committed the specific crime and in the process sexually touched the child on her genitilia with his hands for the reason of sexual gratification.

Depending on the amount of force used during the sexual assault will determine the classification of this crime e.g. forcible rape, indecent liberties, and etc. If the perpetrator by word or actions threatens or assaults the child in any manner during the sexual assault the classification is raised to a higher level of crime with serious consequences.

Classifying - The District Detective will classify the case as a specific crime

The District Detective must identify who the victim was who was sexually assaulted. In interviewing the child victim the detective must ascertain the 7 w’s i.e. when, where, what, which, who, why, and how reference questions about the crime. Further, the detective must ask the following type of questions in order to properly classify the crime:

1.      If the child was unable to disclose that a crime occurred then the District Detective will close the case for whatever reason is presented to the detective

2.      If circumstances prevent the criminal investigation from occurring then the District Detective will place the case into his inactive files

3.      If the child was penetrated then the criminal charge is generally a Child Rape charge depending on the force used and the age of the victim

4.      If the child was not penetrated then the criminal charge is generally a Child Molestation depending on the force used and the age of the child

Sometimes when a child is sexually assaulted things go sideways for the pedophile. He my becomes too aggressive which may eventually cause the child to be seriously injured or murdered.

Jessica Lunsford Act (sometimes referred to as Jessica’s Law) enacted in 2005 by Congress and currently enacted in 43 States, with additional States seeking to pass it at this time, is a national movement to incarcerate pedophiles for twenty-five plus years depending on the type of sexual assault committed upon the child.

The response by Congress and the State Legislatures and Governors in these 43 States sent a message to those who sexually assault children that there will be a loss of freedom for life if they commit a sexual assault against a child. No longer will there be a slap on the hand attitude or response by the courts of men and women who sexually assault children.

Classifying a fingerprint, a crime, the type of victim, witness, perpetrator or evidence allows the criminal justice system to be structured in such a way that it is easy for those who work within in the system to accomplish and perform their roles and responsibilities.

If public employees are capable of realizing and grasping that their job is part of a chain of responsibilities then the system works. If along the way there is a failure by these employees to produce or commit to their jobs then it is possible that a child sexual assault victim may be re-victimized by the same perpetrator or an alleged perpetrator who did not commit the crime is found guilty and sent to prison.

Public servants must realize that there is significance to their position and the ramifications which occur when they fail the community that they serve. No one should believe the entire burden of whether a child is sexually assaulted in the future is theirs to worry about. However, they need to be concerned about their function and the impact their decisions will have on the individual and ultimately the community.

It is vital that everyone does their part and if the criminal justice system has positive and successful leadership, then classification will occur and be beneficial to those who become engulfed into the system.

Of the twelve characteristics classifying is one of the most important aspects of determining if a crime did or didn’t occur. If law enforcement agencies educate and train their personnel in understanding the relevance of classifying evidence and type of crime they are dealing with, then the parties involved and the community should be satisfied with the performance of their public employees and law enforcement agency.

With the use of the newest technology gadgets, classifying will provide law enforcement and those who work in the criminal justice system multiple avenues to innovate and create tools which will take classification of evidence, testimony, and criminal behavior to another level.

In the end, a law enforcement officer who clearly understands the laws and understands how to classify and apply the classification adequately and properly will become a leader who is intelligent and competent in the law enforcement community. Further, this new mindset should bring about an intense accountability against those who work outside the law i.e. pedophiles, and commit sexual assault crimes against children.

Today’s Investigative Special Report – January 02, 2013 “Dealing With Todays Law Enforcement Specialized Investigations” “By Who Rules Does Law Enforcement Use To Enforce The Law When Investigating Child Sexual Assault Allegations?”

By Lawrence W. Daly, MSc

Forensic Expert – Senior Author

In the land of the mysterious and great Oz the rules in which those who dare to venture into this dreamland must abide by them. These rules were established to control people who were good and evil. If you violated the laws then one of the Sergeant of Arms would come into your domain and discipline you; there are consequences to your violation and behavior.

In your community like the dreamland of Oz there have been rules established years ago to control the conduct and behavior of its citizens. Law enforcement was established to enforce the rules and monitor if everyone’s conduct and behavior conformed to the communities wishes.  Everyone was responsible to do the right thing, but as most people know there are just some people who violate the rules just because this is the nature of the beast.

English: JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (March 24, 2011) Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Jan Logan updates Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program instructions in her office at the NAS Jacksonville Fleet and Family Support Center.

After establishing 

specific States, Counties and Local communities laws were created, voted on, and became the law of the land. No more dreamland of Oz, no more neighbors keeping one another accountable but laws; serious laws which were enforceable and there was a punishment for breaking the laws. In promulgating these laws child protection laws were established such as it is illegal to sexually and physically assault or neglect a child.

In the beginning law enforcement turned their backs on the sexual and physical assaults believing that what happens in a home, stays in the home, and it is up to the father, for the most part to enforce the rules. The problem with this hierarchy is the father was generally the violator of the rules and children endured the wrath sexually and physically or neglect.

It took centuries for law enforcement to step up to the plate and begin enforcing crimes against children. Society was no longer tolerating the crimes that were happening to children. The attitudes of the community had been to leave well enough alone and let the families deal with the problem. However, the child advocates said enough was enough and child sexual and physical assaults or neglect were no longer tolerated.

Today, law enforcement aggressively enforces any and all crimes against children. The education and training is not adequate as of yet, but each year the doors to a variety of education and training has become available worldwide. Still there is much to learn and the more educated, trained, and experienced a law enforcement officer becomes the increase in the credibility and reliability of the child assault investigation will become.

There are an “enormous amount of issues” as child sexual assaults are complicated. There is no such thing as an easy investigations, even if the alleged perpetrator has confessed. Some law enforcement officers would complete the case and submit it to the prosecutor for the filing of criminal charg

es. An excellent investigator needs to think at least ‘six steps’ ahead of the investigation. Just because the alleged perpetrator confessed doesn’t solidify the case as a good defense attorney could have the confession thrown out of court for a technicality that the officer committed. There needs to be a thorough and complete investigation and this can only be accomplished if the officer puts in the necessary effort. Putting the case into the “autopilot” category will come back to haunt the criminal charges which were alleged against the alleged perpetrator.

In the interviewing of the alleged child sexual assault victim the issues can become “enormous” due to the fact that the child interviewer failed to follow the scientific investigative child interviews. The enormity comes from the difficulty in knowing what approach the forensic law enforcement investigator/interviewer is the correct and appropriate interview style.

It takes years of experience not to be seen as stumbling or being clumsy in the officer’s investigative approach to the child sexual assault allegations. The officer must take a step back upon receiving the first responders report and determine specifically what aspects of the case need to be addressed immediately, when to interview the alleged child victim and perpetrator.

Most law enforcement agencies teach their officers to make contact with the non-offending parent, who is generally the reporter of the crime, and set up an interviewer with the alleged child victim. A written or digitally recorded statement may have been taken by the first responder. These interviews generally do not have many details in the statement because the attitude by the first responder

s is the assigned district detective can ask the extensive questions which need to be asked in a comfortable and non-threatening environment.

Depending on the age of the child she is rarely interviewed by the first responder for many reasons, but generally because the officer does not believe they are competent to do such an interview, aren’t comfortable in interviewing children, would rather leave the responsibility of interviewing the child to forensic child sexual assault experts, and so forth.

In the assessment and evaluation stage of the investigation which is generally performed at the beginning of the investigation before the officer takes the first investigative step, he should always prepare a report on his ‘gut’ feelings about the case in chief. If he feels that the information seems to be credible and reliable then maybe interviewing the alleged child victim would be the best investigative approach.

Cover of Michael Jackson

Sometimes the officer may need to perform some background interviews on the alleged child victim. If there was ever a major investigative step neglected across America in law enforcement is the failure to perform a background on a child. Officers do not even think this is an investigative option. In the Michael Jackson criminal trial the prosecutor was asked why they hadn’t performed a background on the 14 year old alleged victim as the information the media had been given was he was a liar. The prosecutor stated, “It is not my job to do a pedigree on child victims.” The response by the media should have been, “Then if you won’t do it or those working under you, then who will?”

Too often law enforcement and prosecutors fail to understand that the “enormous” eye sore in their case is their child victim. Imagine your child victim is 15 years old has an acrimonious relationship with her father, and when disciplined by her father that she would lose her mobile telephone for a week, she reports to her school counselor that her father has been raping her since she was five. Really, she is disciplined and then there is an allegation of sexual assaults dating back 10 years. Still law enforcement is not trained to use common sense and if their attitude is “children don’t lie” they will not go fact-finding for the truth.

Going back to whose responsibility is it to do the investigation on the child victim the answer is clear, it is law enforcement’s and the prosecutor’s responsibility. Why should an alleged perpetrator hire an attorney to prove his innocence when law enforcement had the ability and responsibility to perform this task?

When everything is said and done the prosecutor who receives the investigation from the officer doesn’t want the officer to deliver an investigation which is riddled with an “enormous amount of unresolved issues.” These issues will stifle the prosecutor in filing criminal charges if this is the best course of action. Taking the investigation off of “autopilot” and doing their job in a responsible, competent, and intelligent manner is all the community is requesting of their officers. Anything short of this type of investigation is simply unacceptable.

The laws created to protect children from any type of assaults or neglect. Rules were established which make everyone responsible and accountable for their individual actions. Law enforcement however good the officer is in investigating the allegations must adhere to the belief that one rule is they can never take away an individual’s Constitutional Rights to “due process.” When the officer provides the alleged perpetrator with “due process” then the officer is demonstrating he understands and respects the rules of the Constitution. Laws and rules govern the actions of law enforcement for the sole reason of following the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States.

Everyone wins if the law enforcement officer does ‘exactly’ what is asked of him by their community and administration. The proficiency and effectiveness of the officer will take time, he will make his share of mistakes, make bad decisions and judgments, but it is imperative that he is competent and intelligent when performing their job.

It is unlikely that no one will complain about the strength and conviction of the officer’s belief in his fact finding process and conclusions. If he has followed the protocols, procedures, and process then others will believe in his decision making. In the end a criminal charge which is filed or not filed should be the goal by all the interested parties depending on the testimony and evidence, not feelings or tears. Law enforcement must at all times follow the rules and laws of the State, County, and Local legislative mandates and laws.

Today’s Investigative Special Report – December 24, 2012 “Dealing With Today’s Law Enforcement Specialized Investigations” “Coaching - In Child Sexual Abuse Allegations?”

By Lawrence W. Daly, MSc

Forensic Expert – Senior Author

Child Abuse Conf. BANNER 10 29 12 (Photo credit: pennstatelive)

An allegation of child sexual abuse has just been made against a man who lives in a middle class neighborhood. He is a well-known business man, is married, and has four children who range from 6-15 years of age. The man attends church at least three times a week, appears to be happily married, and the children in the neighborhood enjoy spending time at his home, sometimes spending the night.

One of his daughters, he has two, had a sleep over and everything seemed to go well, until one of the 12 year-old girls, upon returning home after the sleep over, told her mother that the father of her friend, the family man, church going, happily married, great man, touched her on her shoulders with his hand and this made her feel uncomfortable.

The mother reacted negatively to this news and began questioning her daughter. The first series of interviews between mother of the daughter lasted the entire day with breaks to go to the restroom, get something to eat and drink, and answer the telephone when someone was calling to talk to the young lady.

The next day the same scenario continued. In the meantime the mother of the alleged victim began making telephone calls to child advocate organizations, law enforcement, counselors, friends, family members, and anyone else who would listen to her. She was simply outraged that someone had touched her daughter in the shoulder area. At times her mind would race and she found herself visualizing what her daughter went through expanding the touching to a greater extent than what her daughter had disclosed.

Stop here and take a deep breath and try to slow things down. If it was your child and she came home and told you that the father of her daughter’s friend had touched her on any part of her body, what would your reaction to be? It would seem reasonable and logical that you would want to explore with your daughter exactly what happened. Probably you are not a forensic child sexual assault interview expert therefore there may be the possibility that some of your questioning may be leading and suggestive. This could be problematic for many reasons. These reasons are as follows:

1.      If your daughter has been sexually assaulted by the man then your questioning may provide your daughter with the opportunity to disclose “exactly” what happened. If this is the case you will need to stop the questioning, call the police and let a professional do any further questioning.

2.      If your daughter wasn’t sexually assaulted and you are not satisfied with her answer, because when you were young, the man who lived in your neighborhood had sexually assaulted you but you never told anyone. You think at this point that your daughter isn’t telling you everything because she is full of shame and guilt, even though if the allegations are true she may not want to disclose it. Just like it was when you were sexually assaulted.

3.      If you can’t determine if your daughter was or wasn’t sexually assaulted maybe waiting to talk to your husband would be the next positive and successful step you should take. Your daughter and your husband have an unbelievable relationship and if she was touched then maybe she might tell him “exactly” what happened.

4.      After your husband has met with your daughter and she told him the same thing you were told you may want to take it to the next step and have her interviewed by a professional. One of your thoughts should be is this event about your daughter or about the unresolved sexual assault you went through as a child. This question needs to be considered as sooner or later someone is going to ask what are you putting your daughter through. Moreover, why are you doing this?

Someone looking from the outside in may wonder if you have become a coach, coaching your daughter into disclosing a sexual assault that didn’t happen. If this is the case then the alleged trauma your daughter went through will be multiplied many times. So if this is true and you have become a coach, what type of coach have you become?

1.      Purposeful Coach: This is the type of coach which has a plan and coaching the child into saying things that are untrue benefits and assist them in accomplishing their goals.

2.      Intentional Coach: Coaches a child because they intend to cause as much trouble for the alleged perpetrator as possible. The intent has many motivational factors behind the allegation.

3.      Unintentional Coach: Coaches a child without thinking about what they are doing. Maybe seen as causing an allegation because of their negative feelings against the alleged perpetrators.

4.      Progressive Coach: Is similar to the “Intentional Coach” except this coach progressively begins coaching the child at an early age and eventually the child makes a false allegation.

5.      Silent Coaches: Is the most sinister coach as they intentionally coach the child in such a way that the child has no idea they are being manipulated. This type of coach can be seen in the child who has been sexually assaulted and the adults in their environment coach the child to not disclose the abuse.

The motive to coach is not always apparent and therefore needs to be examined and evaluated. Here are some motives to coach a child into saying that an individual had sexually assaulted them:

1.      Revenge

2.      Secondary Gain

3.      Retaliation

4.      To get the alleged perpetrator in trouble with law enforcement for something they didn’t do

5.      Manipulation

6.      Control

7.      Coaching creates results

8.      To accomplish specific goals

9.      Allows an investigation to take place against an alleged perpetrator knowing the allegation is false. This false allegation will cost the perpetrator financially, emotionally, effect relationships, and create unbelievable anxiety and stress.

10.  Coaching creates results

Depending on the type of circumstances, the type of coach and the hidden motives for why an adult would coach a child to say that something sexually occurred when nothing happened is simply evil and unconscionable. Law enforcement in investigating any and all sexual assault allegations needs to be thorough and complete in determining if there has been any coaching of any kind when a possible disclosure occurred. The source to determine if coaching occurred will never come from the coach. However, if the alleged child victim is properly, competently, and intelligently interviewed then the fact finding process may uncover the truth.

The many questions which you may be asking is why would someone want a child to lie about something which didn’t occur have a multitude of answers. However, a law enforcement investigator has to have an Investigative Case Action Plan which considers that something is not right with a specific allegation. If the law enforcement officer has received the proper education and training, then they will be able to see the problem, why it occurred, and how it occurred. Once the coaching has been identified then the investigation needs to be focused on the coach and begin seeking criminal charges available to the law enforcement officer.

Today’s Investigative Special Report – December 11, 2012 “Dealing With Today’s Law Enforcement Specialized Investigations” “Is Law Enforcement On ‘Autopilot’ When It Comes To Investigating Allegations Of Sexual Abuse and Assaults?”

By Lawrence W. Daly, MSc

Forensic Expert – Senior Author

Trying to understand what the state of mind law enforcement officers have when they are assigned to investigate a possible crime of child sexual abuse allegations is confusing, not only to law 

Virginia State Police car (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

enforcement, but to the public. The reasons will become apparent as the issues discussed are general in nature reference the quality of the officers and investigations.

Every law enforcement agency across the United Statesunderstands that their officers are only as good as their education and training received post-high school. Over the past three decades the majority of law enforcement officers come to the job with an undergraduate degree. Recently, many officers bring graduate degrees as well.

Education is financially rewarded by many of the law enforcement agencies as an added bonus and incentive to recruit potential candidates. Further, those officers who have undergraduate and graduate degrees will have a greater opportunity to potentially move up the chain of command.

The responsibility of training their officers is the agencies sole responsibility. As soon as the officer is hired by the agency there are state laws which require the officer will have to attend the state police academy. Depending on the state, the police academy can range anywhere from four to six months in duration.

Once the officer has graduated from the academy, the officer will then be placed into a field training program with his/her agency. The duration of the field training program being determined by the individual agencies policies and procedures, but generally the programs duration is three to five months.

The education the officer possesses will be based upon the undergraduate of graduate degree they obtained and which colleges they obtained the degree(s) from. This is where some officers will have an advantage over other officer’s because of the specific curriculums and the higher learning college they attended.

Examining and evaluating the education and training an officer receives over a specific time frame will most likely project which direction their career will be focused on. There will be some officers who want to work in the Operational Division i.e., patrol or the Criminal Investigation Division i.e., detective, child sexual abuse investigations and sexual assaults.

Whichever avenue of advancement the officer selects they will approach their selection with the same training as the other officers. However, there may be some newly hired officers who have military police training, which will assist them in their advancement within the department.

Depending upon the field training officers, and what the newly hired officer will be exposed to may make a significant difference in comparison to other newly hired officers. If this is the case the advanced field training officer will provide a higher standard of training. The purpose of having a field training officer program is to allow the newly hired officer to be exposed to multiple field training officers so they are given the opportunity to learn from a diversity of officers who are experienced and specialized in a specific investigative task, such as being a crime scene technician.

Sometimes the newly hired officer will have the unfortunate experience of being trained by a field training officer who operates on “autopilot.” “Autopilot” in law enforcement are officers who go through the motions in their specific investigative assignments.  They know the policy and procedures of what is required of them and this is how they approach and handle their investigation. They don’t do anything more than what is required of them. This is the type of officer an agency and the community doesn’t want investigating sexual abuse/assault type cases.

These types of officers (autopilots) are the norm, not because they are lazy, uneducated, or untrained, but it is the easiest investigative method and technique to accomplish their jobs. If an investigation requires they take a witness statement and prepare a report, then this is all they will do.

Their jobs are mechanical in nature, their thinking is dull, and they have little motivation to do anything more than what is required of them. If a newly hired officer is trained by an “autopilot” officer than they will learn the basics of the investigation which has been assigned to them. Nothing more, nothing less, they will do what is asked of them.

So how does an officer stay away from becoming one of the norms and instead flourish and have the reputation that they are a motivated, innovative, and a creative law enforcement officer? There are several steps an officer can take to be the best he/she can be:

1.      After their one year, probation has been accomplished, and then the officer needs to find an area of expertise they want to pursue and develop their knowledge of how they can become an expert in this field.

2.      The officer needs to know each and every general rule, guideline, policy, procedure, and process in their law enforcement agency. They need to have the basics memorized and capable of reciting them if any situation arises and there are questions about how a specific task needs to be accomplished.

3.      The officer needs to become an avid reader in their field of interests. There are thousands of books on crime scene investigations, interviewing, crimes, criminal profiling, and so forth. In order to change their status from novice to expert they will need to set aside time everyday to read and read and read.

4.      The officer needs to attend workshops, conferences, webinars, or any other educational venues on the subject matter they want to become an expert in.

5.      The officer needs to volunteer in their unit and division in their department so they can determine if they want to set their goals and aspirations in this field of being a police officer. The volunteering needs to be outside their specific assignment.

6.      The officer needs to interview experts in the law enforcement field who are known as being the top in the field they are interested in. These experts can be inside their own department or part of other law enforcement agencies.

7.      The officer needs to locate websites, journals, publications, and other resources which can assist the officer in learning what the scientific ideologies are in reference to their field of study.

It takes much effort and dedication to become one of the best in the field of study that a law enforcement officer wants to pursue. The technical aspects of being competent and intelligent, requires the officer to develop a short-term and long-term training and education action plan. Preparation is necessary so milestones, when accomplished, can be checked as completed.

The degree in which the officer wants to take his/her level of expertise will be determined by the officer, their available time, finances, work, and other professional and personal factors. Once the officer has accomplished their training and education action plan it may be time for the officer to begin applying within his/her department for the specific investigative position they have put their time in to become qualified for and an expert in.

The decision to be on “autopilot” in child sexual abuse cases depends upon the pedigree of the officer. If they were born to be an individual who has always accomplished goals and desires by doing the minimal than they will be on “autopilot” during their law enforcement career. It takes a special type of officer to investigate allegations of child sexual abuse. The officer must be willing to present an attitude of neutrality and objectivity at all times. It is easy to sit back and watch an investigation develop on its own or the officer can direct the investigation documenting all facts and evidence.

If an officer wants to be an expert in the field of child sexual abuse investigation, then the officer needs to expend time working in an investigative field such as burglary/larceny obtaining experience and learning how to develop relationships with other detectives, patrol officers, management, and the local prosecutors. This experience is invaluable and should be one of the short-term training and education action plans.

It takes a special type of person to be a law enforcement officer. Further, selecting the specific avenues the officer desires to take may determine the longevity the officer will be employed as an officer. Most individuals who become officers stay with the agency until retirement or another opportunity presents itself.

The type of officer law enforcement management and the community wants on their police force are intelligent and competent officers who do not support those officers who live on “autopilot.” The type of officer everyone appreciates, desires, and respects are those who plan out their future. When provided an opportunity to perform an investigation, conduct it in such a manner that there are no questions about the integrity of the investigation. The quality of the motivated, creative, and innovative officer generally is considered the type of investigation the community appreciates. If you are a law enforcement officer are you on “autopilot?” Or are you an officer with a specific vision to be the best you can be not just today, but tomorrow and the future.
