ABSTRACT
The goals of any police investigation, including a sex-crime investigation, include finding out what happened (or if anything happened) and finding out who did what (Milne & Bull, 1999). Law enforcement officers do this through an active investigation, which includes assessing evidence from the crime scene and interviewing witnesses, suspects, and victims. Furthermore, the goal of any police interview is to obtain accurate, complete, and relevant accounts from the interviewee (McGurk, Carr, & McGurk, 1993).
