I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.

Can someone create false positive molestation forensic testing by wiping a week old rag with dried semen onto their child

Asked by Queen B almost 4 years ago

I suppose anything’s possible, but it depends on how well a dried stain is going to transfer to anything. usually a dense, dried liquid simply flakes off a surface. Someone could try wetting the rag but I honestly don’t know how well that would work or if at all. Also, whoever is collecting any evidence off that child would have to swab that exact spot. So I can’t say it’s impossible but I would guess it’s unlikely to work. Hope that helps!
