Sexual assault (violence) related to alcohol occur in an irresistible state (i.e., inability to react psychologically and physically) of victims due to the blackouts and inebriation. The ethyl alcohol (EtOH) is determined as a direct indicator of alcohol intake. Other direct alcohol markers rely on alternative pathways of alcohol metabolism and include ethyl glucuronide (EtG). In the sexual assault cases, the detection of EtOH positive could not be occasionally confirmed from the victims, since it takes a long time to receive and collect the blood in the evidence, even after the ingested EtOH itself has been eliminated from the body. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze ethanol metabolites EtG, which are relatively longer than EtOH in human body. In this study, EtOH, EtG and EtS were analyzed in blood, and they investigated detection time in the sexual assault cases. In addition, cut-off values of EtOH and EtG were used to determine alcohol intake as 100 mg/L and 0.09 mg/L, n=17), EtG n=5). The concentration of EtOH and EtG in detection time was could be used as a scientific index and it is possible to solve the problem from the delay time in sexual assault as alcohol markers.

법과학 분야는 사회정의 구현에 있어 크나큰 가치가 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 인식이 미흡하여 선진 외국에 비해 침체되어 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라에서도 법과학 분야와 관련 있는 학계, 연구기관, 수사기관 등 유관 단체들로 구성된 한국 법과학회를 창립하여 이 분야를 활성화 시켜 과학수사를 한층 더 발전시키기 위함을 목적으로 한다.
