性骚扰案件中的证据问题研究

本文根据性骚扰案件的特点,就性骚扰案件在诉讼过程中的证明责任的分配、证据的收集和认定等主要问题进行了分析,提出了以下主要观点:(1)在性骚扰案件中,仍应实行“谁主张谁举证”的证明责任分担规则;(2)在证据的收集方面,正确理解“非法证据排除规则”,确认原告以偷拍、偷录方式获得的证据的证据能力。因性骚扰案件体现出的公益性质,当事人除可申请法院调取证据外,法院应主动依职权调取相关证据;(3)在证据认定方面,提高对原告陈述的证明力的认定,同时,应降低对原告的证明标准的要求。通过以上措施可以切实保护性骚扰案件的受害人。

Studies of Testimonies in Sexual Harassment

This paper demonstrates the characteristics of sexual harassment cases with a discussion of issues relating to the responsibility of proving evidence,and gathering and verification of evidence in court procedures.It raises the following points.Firstly,in sexual harassment cases,it should still adopt the rule of "who suggests and who should provide evidence." Secondly,in gathering evidence,it is important to observe the "rule of eliminating illegal evidence" and to verify the probability of evidence gained through filming and videoing with a hidden camera.Due in part to the fact that sexual harassment cases have bearings on public welfare,both plaintiffs and the accused can request the court to obtain evidence and the court should actively use its authority to order the presentation of relevant evidence.Thirdly,the court should increase recognition of the ability of plaintiff to verify accusation and lower the requirement for the standards of proof on the part of plaintiff.It is through these above measures that victims are protected in sexual harassment cases.
