Sex offenses are difficult and delicate cases to handle. They generate enormous publicity and are by nature intrinsically sensational. Handling each accusation expeditiously will lessen media exposure and potential liability. The key objectives are the protection of the victim from further harm and the preservation of any physical evidence. It is imperative that both victim and perpetrator be totally isolated from one another. It is particularly important to keep both under continuous observation. Do not allow either party to discard clothing or any items on their person. Requests to use lavatory facilities by either party should be delayed until police arrive. Neither the victim nor the assailant should be allowed to wash their hands or face. These steps are to preserve possible physical evidence. If the sex assault occurred in the school, the room or area where the assault took place should be closed and locked to prevent tampering with possible physical evidence. Any interview with the victim by the Principal should be short and to the point. The victim should not be subjected to questioning by a "panel of school personnel." The Principal should ask "what happened?" Once the nature of the sexual assault or offense is stated by the victim, the interview should be concluded and Security Services notified. No further questioning of the victim should take place. The alleged perpetrator SHOULD NOT BE QUESTIONED by school personnel. NO WRITTEN STATEMENTS SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE VICTIM OR PERPETRATOR. The Principal should take notes of all relevant facts: time, date, persons involved, etc. Any written statements from the victim, assailant or witnesses will be taken by Buffalo Police Detectives. No information on the case should be given to anyone except those "with a need to know." The key to handling a sex offense allegation is to act quickly and involve the appropriate police and legal authorities.
