Abstract

The examination of child witnesses in cases of sexual molestation involves complexities at psychological and legal levels and requires rigorous analysis and assessment to safeguard the rights and interests of the alleged victim and of the accused. Legal, procedural, and psychological issues are reviewed, and a methodological strategy for the investigation and evaluation of child sexual molestation is outlined.
