Beyond He Said, She Said: Corroborating Evidence in the Digital Age

Title slide for workshop titled "Beyond He Said, She Said: The BASE Framework of Corroboration"

Despite the presence of corroborating evidence in every child sexual abuse case, child protection professionals often miss the full potential of this vital component. This workshop equips attendees to maximize various underutilized avenues of corroboration, focusing on forensic interviews, internet of things (IoT) devices, numerous other forms of digital evidence, and tools for practitioners.

Suggested Audience: Law enforcement, with some value for other MDT members


Learning Objectives: 

  • Identify common categories of corroborating evidence in child sexual abuse investigations.

  • Analyze the potential corroborative utility of internet of things (IoT) devices to establish relevant facts in child abuse cases.

  • Evaluate and leverage the significance of forensic interviews as a primary source of corroborative evidence in child abuse cases.
