Show Notes

What happens when you report a sexual assault? What are the processes and how do they affect the outcome of a case?

In this episode, former GP Kathryn Fox speaks to forensic physician Dr Maaike Moller to demystify and debunk the process of reporting a sexual assault. Maaike will walk us through how and when to report an assault, how evidence and DNA is collected from a survivor, and the autonomy of the survivor throughout the whole process. Maaike also shares her expertise on drug-facilitated assault and stealthing. 

Please note, this podcast is not a replacement for professional advice. If you've been assaulted or suspect your drink has been spiked, please contact your local police or seek medical advice from a health professional or local hospital. 

Crime Insiders executive producer Dan Mullins presents a look back at one of our earlier episodes.
