CurbyMcLintock was engaged under legal professional privilege to assist a legal team involved in a complex sexual assault matter. The engagement required discreet and specialised analysis of social media (SOCMINT) and open-source intelligence (OSINT) to identify information relevant to the allegations and potential evidentiary issues.
Our specialists conducted a detailed interrogation of publicly available digital footprints across multiple social media platforms, online communities, open databases and associated online artefacts. This work involved identifying connections between individuals, reconstructing relevant online activity, analysing behavioural indicators, and sourcing contextual information capable of supporting or refuting factual assertions made in the matter.
The investigation identified several pieces of relevant online material, including historical posts, interactions and digital artefacts that provided important context to the circumstances surrounding the allegations. These findings were compiled and provided to the instructing solicitors to assist with litigation strategy, including evidentiary assessment, witness preparation and the development of a structured case theory.
