Sexual offences: Law and procedure discussion paper
Sexual Offences: Law and Procedure – Discussion Paper explores key legal and procedural issues in the investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of sexual offence cases. The paper critically reviews existing statutory definitions, evidentiary rules, and courtroom practices that often hinder access to justice for victims while also assessing safeguards for the accused. It highlights challenges such as evidentiary burdens, victim credibility assessments, delays in the legal process, and the treatment of sensitive testimony. By presenting comparative insights, policy options, and potential reforms, the discussion paper aims to stimulate informed dialogue on how to create a more effective, fair, and trauma-informed legal response to sexual offences.
