In 2019, over 400,000 adult women reported being sexually assaulted. Although this figure is believed to represent only one third of actual rapes, and though it doesn’t include children under the age of 12, it is a huge number.

LNCs can play vital roles in those cases that are litigated. If you are drawn to this very important area of work, you need to understand the medical processes of information gathering involved in sexual assault cases. Teresa Devitt Lynch, who is board-certified through the international Association of Forensic Nurses and has the title of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), takes us into this world.

She emphasizes that this is an area where LNCs must be even more meticulous than usual. Because so many medical departments may be involved in analyzing the data of a sexual account case, contradictions may appear in the reports. It’s also vital to follow the chain of evidence to ensure that none of the evidence was contaminated.

In addition, issues of who was responsible for the assault and whether the sex was consensual or not musts be given detailed consideration.

Because this is such an important area for LNCs to explore professionally, Pat and Teresa will be giving a course in early April on this subject. You’ll find information about it in this podcast.
