Re: Evidence sexual crimes

Sex crimes are proved both by forensic evidence (DNA, fingernail scrapings, hair & fiber, etc.) and by direct testimony of victims and witnesses. There is no "best evidence" as literally any testimony can be used to show the rape or sexual crime occurred. However, the strongest cases include both testimony and forensic evidence.
