 I have a sexual assault case.  It involves a long time mother's boyfriend having sex with the mother's adult daughter.  The daughter is mentally challenged primarily with a low i.q. and she suffers from cerebral palsey.  She is high functioning and has worked (in a very controlled environment) for a long time.  I am concerned that it will be difficult for the jury to fully understand her handicap and how it prevents her from being able to resist the assault.  She is a cooperative witness.  Any expert suggestions?  I think I need someone who can explain to the jury how the victim's intellectual limitations prevent her from being able to say no to a domineering father figure.  Any help will be appreciated. MAS  | ||
