The #MeToo movement has given voice to victims of sexual harassment and assault. In many of these cases, there have been long delays in reporting of the sexual offence (e.g., the Harvey Weinstein case). The purpose of this study was to examine how the type of sexual offence (harassment vs. assault) and the length of delayed reporting (15, 25, 35 years) influenced mock-juror decision-making. Mock-jurors ( = 319) read a mock trial transcript depicting an alleged sexual offence and were asked to render a dichotomous verdict, continuous guilt rating, and defendant and victim perception ratings. The data indicated an effect of sexual offence type such that mock-jurors held more favorable perceptions of the defendant when the alleged offence was harassment compared with assault. There also was an effect of delayed reporting such that mock-jurors rendered more guilty verdicts when there was a 25-year delay compared with a 15-year delay. Intriguingly, these results suggest that jurors in sexual offence cases may perceive longer delays in reporting as more believable than shorter delays.
#MeToo 运动为性骚扰和性侵犯的受害者发声。在许多此类案件中，性犯罪的报告都存在很长的延迟（例如哈维·韦恩斯坦案）。本研究旨在探讨性犯罪类型（骚扰与侵犯）和延迟报告时间（15 年、25 年、35 年）如何影响模拟陪审员的决策。模拟陪审员（n=319）阅读了一个模拟审判记录，描述了一起涉嫌性犯罪，并被要求做出二分判决、连续犯罪评分以及对被告和受害者的感知评分。数据表明，性犯罪类型存在影响，即与侵犯相比，当指控的罪行是骚扰时，模拟陪审员对被告的看法更为有利。报告延迟也存在影响，即与 15 年延迟相比，25 年延迟时模拟陪审员做出更有罪判决。有趣的是，这些结果表明，在性犯罪案件中，陪审员可能认为较长的延迟报告比较短的延迟报告更可信。
