This document discusses how digital forensic investigation of cell phones and text/call records can help resolve legal disputes where one person's word is against another's. It provides examples where this evidence could prove a relationship was consensual and legal, such as by showing a deceiver's real age or confirming consensual sex in accusations of cheating or regret. GPS data can also confirm or raise doubts about someone's narrative of events. Having this exculpatory evidence found through mobile phone forensic investigation can help earn leniency or acquittal.
2. It would be nice to think that law and order was a black and white affair: this
action is illegal and deserving of a prison sentence, while that action is legal
and undeserving of censure. The truth is much murkier, especially when it
comes to situations where it is one person’s word against another. Fortunately,
modern technology comes to our rescue here too, as in so many areas of life,
with digital forensic investigation.
3. Text and Call Information
Situations can get out of hand and what starts out as a friendly
date can turn into an awkward encounter. In worst-case
scenarios, it can end with an accusation of rape or sexual
assault.
4. Age fib:
Sometimes people can lie about their age and it can be hard to tell
the difference between a legal eighteen-year-old and a mature
fifteen-year-old. This is often a highly sensitive situation, as
children are, rightly, deserving of the full protection of the law, but
it can happen where the other party is innocent of any wrong
intention and completely unaware that they have been deceived.
Taking someone’s word for their age should not be a crime, but it
can happen that a charge of statutory rape is laid. Having a private
investigation service uncover text and email proof that the age
given was legal, and being able to show a reasonable assumption
of a legal and consensual relationship, will give you a better
chance of earning leniency from a judge or the prosecution
service.
5. Cheat:
Being caught cheating can sometimes lead people to lie. It is
easier to say ‘they forced me’ than to own up to a moment of
lust, but if the cheated upon partner then insists on a police
case being opened, you might be forced into making a defence.
Having proof that the meeting and the sex were consensual can
get you off the hook, leaving the cheat with some questions to
answer to his or her partner!
6. Regret:
Rarely, people can regret the impulsion to a one-night stand.
Sometimes this is, as above, because they have a partner
already, at other times it could be because they have religious
beliefs or other moral concerns over their own behaviour
which they alleviate by putting the blame on the other person
concerned: unfair and illogical, but humans are messy and
emotional sometimes! Again, proof positive of their consent
can be found on a mobile phone through cell phone forensic
investigation.
7. GPS Data
GPS data pinpoints where the phone user is at any point in time
and accurately reading this can help to confirm your story or show
holes in an accusation.
It is this last point where mobile phones can really help in a
situation where actions can be ambiguous or open to several
interpretations. If a narrative does not line up with text and GPS
data it is easier for a defence lawyer to unpick that narrative,
providing doubt about the accusation and leading to a (deserved)
acquittal and dismissal of charges.
