According to Wisconsin statutes, which right is afforded to victims of sexual assault?

• A. The right to refuse a lie detector test
• B. The right to a free attorney at all times
• C. The right to submit to a polygraph
• D. The right to a private investigator

Answer: (A)

Victims of sexual assault have protections that support their autonomy in the reporting and investigative process. A key assurance is their right to refuse a lie detector test. This prevents coercion or pressure to undergo a polygraph, respecting the victim’s control over whether to participate in such testing. The other options aren’t established rights in this context: a free attorney at all times isn’t guaranteed for victims, submitting to a polygraph isn’t a guaranteed right, and a private investigator isn’t a statutory entitlement for victims.
