Sexual Assault Crime Prevention Act Article 23

An examination or questioning of a Victim by a court may, upon petition or sua sponte, be conducted outside the court, via audio or video transmission technical equipment, or via any other appropriate isolation measures, so as to separate a Victim from a defendant or a judge.A court shall adopt the isolation approach prescribed in the preceding Paragraph when a child Victim, a juvenile Victim, a mentally disabled Victim, or a physically or psychologically injured Victim is unable to make a free or complete statement during a face-to-face questioning in court.A court may conduct an examination of a Victim instead when a party, or a defense counsel of a defendant, is forbidden from questioning a Victim because the said party, or the said defense counsel, inappropriately questioned the said Victim.Neither a defendant nor his defense counsel may raise any question about, or present, any evidence of a Victim’s sexual experience with any person other than the said defendant, unless the court finds it necessary.
