You Don’t Have My Blessing to Pop the Question: Forensic Interviewer Insights for CPS Child Interviews
When a child discloses abuse, premature or poorly framed questions can compromise both the child and the case. This session offers forensic-interview–informed guidance on when and how to gather minimal facts while protecting the child, preserving evidence, and strengthening MDT coordination.
Guardians, Gaslighters, or Gullible? Adult Narratives Affecting the Child Abuse Investigation
Adult narratives can protect the truth—or quietly distort it—in child abuse cases. This session examines Guardians, Gaslighters, and the Gullible, equipping participants to spot bias, challenge misleading narratives, and keep the child’s voice central to the investigation.
Human Trafficking and the Sexual Abuse of Boys
Human trafficking cases require specialized, flexible approaches—and when victims are boys, added hurdles like low disclosure and stigma often complicate the work. This session blends core trafficking practices with dynamics specific to boys, highlighting proactive identification, strong case development, tech-informed corroboration, and coordinated partnerships across physical and online contexts.
Forensic Feud: A Game of Shadows and Psychology
This workshop, hosted in a game show format by a former prosecutor and a forensic psychologist, equips attendees to address and refute defenses frequently encountered in child abuse cases. Participants will gain insights into identifying and addressing common defenses in child sex trafficking, online sexual exploitation, and child sexual abuse, and explore practical countermeasures tailored for MDT members.
Whatever It Takes: Earning the Trust of Survivors in High-Control Environment Cases
Trauma can complicate investigations and prosecutions, especially in coercive environments like cults, trafficking networks, and other high-control settings. This workshop covers trauma-related barriers, communication with reluctant witnesses, and evidence-gathering and trial-prep strategies that prioritize safety and account for trauma’s impact on disclosure and testimony.
The Perpetrator in the Precinct: Confronting Child Abuse in Law Enforcement
When a child-abuse suspect is a law enforcement officer, the investigative and prosecutorial challenges intensify. Using real case examples, this training shows how officers exploit authority and equips participants with strategies to handle these complex cases effectively.
Ctrl‑Alt‑Deceit: Exposing Flawed Defenses in Online Exploitation Cases
False narratives are common in online child-exploitation cases, from excuses for CSAM possession to attacks on digital evidence. This workshop breaks down frequent defense arguments and gives prosecutors concrete strategies to expose and neutralize them from pretrial through sentencing.
Search Warrants and the Pursuit of Digital Evidence
Search warrants are pivotal for securing the digital evidence that can make or break a child-exploitation case. This workshop explains how to choose the right legal process, draft precise warrants, navigate provider challenges, and avoid defects that jeopardize investigations.
Digital Evidence Demystified: Forensics and Courtroom Admissibility
Digital evidence is now essential for prosecutors. This workshop covers the basics of digital forensics, strategies for admitting social-media and other digital evidence, and how to navigate artifacts, authentication, hearsay, and case law to bridge the gap between the lab and the courtroom.
Winning Without Words: Prosecuting Cases with Recanting or Nonverbal Victims
Even when a child victim recants or cannot speak in court, prosecutors can prevail. This workshop delivers practical investigative and courtroom strategies to anticipate and address recantation, support children throughout the process, and secure convictions when a child cannot or will not testify. Participants will leave equipped to turn silence into strength in the courtroom.
Investigating and Prosecuting Domestic Violence and Child Abuse
Co-occurring domestic violence and child abuse cases pose distinct challenges for investigators and prosecutors.

Mindhunters: Tactical Offender Psychology for Investigators and Prosecutors
