Answer 1

Answer:

b. The case can still proceed with the DNA evidence.

Explanation:

Sexual assault is a very sensitive crime. It is a situation whereby a person touches another person in a sexual or provocative manner without the other person's consent.

A sexual assault case will proceed due to the presence of DNA evidence which can help the prosecution team to establish and prove the guilt of the offender.
