In the second instalment of our six-part series about understanding sexual crime, we discuss what happens beyond that initial report, from the perspective of an investigator and a victim. We also look at how police members become detectives in the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team and the specialist knowledge that's required to investigate sexual crimes.

If you are seeking help you can call the CASA Sexual Assault Crisis Line on 1800 806 292 or to report a sexual offence to police please call Triple Zero (000) or your local police station.
