[YEAR] 1992 [CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE LITIGATION] Legal regulation of child sexual abuse evaluation and testimony [AUTHOR] Gerald Cooke PhD [SELECTION] 8152 [ABSTRACT] Statutory and case law pertaining to child sexual abuse evaluation and testimony are conceptualized in four categories: state statutes for reporting abuse, competency of child witnesses, limitations on procedures and expert testimony, and the right of a defendant to confront the accuser. Differences in state statutes for reporting abuse are described. The state and federal cases reviewed cover the period from 1980 to 1992. Areas of the law in which there is confusion and contradiction are discussed, but some clearly emerging trends are also described. [SOURCE]
