- Short Description:
- Proving child sexual abuse is challenging due to the lack of physical evidence, making a child’s disclosures the most compelling evidence. However, these disclosures are often dismissed for reasons unsupported by modern science, such as inconsistencies in the child's statements or claims of coaching. Additionally, a child may provide details that appear to contradict the timeline, like the accused having an alibi, or include fantastical elements, such as being rescued by a dog. A child may also later recant their statement. These issues can lead Child Protective Services (CPS) investigators to dismiss the abuse, which in turn affects law enforcement decisions and custody rulings. It's crucial to understand the science behind abuse, disclosures, and forensic interviews to properly assess cases. This presentation will explore these scientific aspects and provide real-world examples where abuse was dismissed despite evidence indicating otherwise.

- Short Description:
- In recent years there has been an increase in ethics complaints filed with various mental health licensing boards around the country. More mental health professionals are now being confronted with responding to such complaints, especially in regard to forensic cases such as child custody evaluations in family court. In fact, the major complaints to ethics committees of licensing boards now involves child custody cases, parenting disputes, child sexual abuse cases, treatment of clients or testimony in forensic cases. This has replaced complaints about sexual contact between a client and therapist. Most graduate programs or even ethics workshops do not necessarily train mental health professionals in appropriate ways to respond to licensing board complaints, their subpoenas, use of your own expert, hiring attorneys, or dealing with accusations that are actually filed and subsequent administrative law hearings.

- Short Description:
- Over the years, we have been building towards monumental military justice reform. This year, we have never been closer. Both the House and the Senate have introduced bold pieces of legislation to amend the justice system, and DoD leadership, for the first time, is speaking in support of an overhaul. And for good reason. Sexual assault numbers peaked at 20,500 in 2018, and a recent DoD IG report just determined that 64% of military special victims cases did not have appropriately trained trial counsel (or prosecutors) assigned to them.
