La sugestión en el testimonio de los menores de edad presuntas víctimas de delitos sexuales, análisis teórico, normativo y procedimental.

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the investigation and prosecution of sexual crimes in Colombia constitutes one of the conjunctural points and the greatest debate regarding the issue of guarantees of criminal order; The greater social repudiation generated by this type of offense, even more so in the case of those committed against minors, has led the Colombian legislator in favor of safeguarding the rights of victims, especially the right not to be revictimized, authorize the incorporation of the forensic interviews carried out on the alleged victims at the beginning of the process through the figure of the reference test, a situation that is problematic in criminal judicial practice since said interviews in repeated cases are crossed by different types of suggestions exerted on the interviewee alleged victim, either by the interviewer during the interview or by third parties, which obviously generates a transgression of the rights of the accused.
