Drafting Electronics Device Search Warrants to Enhance Sexual Abuse Prosecutions

June 26, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM CST

Explore recent court cases examining the issue of over-broadness in electronic device search warrants, and how investigators can overcome and succeed in light of these guidelines. There will be a close examination of forensic data extraction and the importance this plays in sexual abuse prosecutions, establishing the nexus with what sexual abuse perpetrators search on devices to make their victimization possible. This browsing history can be used by prosecutors to create a persona of the offender to present stronger jury cases, as well as for post-trial classification under the Adam Walsh Protection Act.
