Student actors and professionals from campus and the community will join together to create a mock trial that will explore the differences between consensual sex and rape and give students a firsthand look at how sexual assault cases are prosecuted.
The mock trial, being held at the University of Central Florida, will feature testimony, cross-examinations, instructions from the judge and a jury decision.
Following the trial will be a panel-held discussion with panelists from UCF Student Legal Services, UCF Women’s Health Clinic, UCF Victim Services and UCF Police Department, as well as a local defense attorney.
The mock trial will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. in the Pegasus Ballroom of the Student Union.
This free and public event is sponsored by UCF Victim Services and UCF Student Legal Services.
