ABSTRACT
In addition to the facility of a live television link, there is also the facility under s 32A of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, where the same type of allegation is made, ie children under 14 violent offence and under 17 in respect of a sexual offence for the child witness (whether complainant or other witness to the incident) to be interviewed by an adult and for that interview to be videotaped and the video recording be adduced in evidence as, the examination-in-chief of that child. s 50 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, allows a further examination-in-chief of any matter not adequately dealt with in the video recorded evidence of the child. The same upper ages apply as for television links.
