Prohibición de exámenes de polígrafo a víctimas de delitos sexuales

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que las víctimas de delitos sexuales no pueden ser obligadas a hacerse un examen de polígrafo. Si se niegan, eso no detiene la investigación o el juicio del caso.

Es como si un maestro no pudiera decirte que no puedes presentar un examen si no haces un trabajo extra. Tu decisión de no hacerlo no afecta tu derecho a tomar el examen regular.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Ana denuncia un asalto sexual. El policía no puede decirle que tiene que hacerse un polígrafo para continuar con su denuncia. Aunque Ana se niegue, el caso sigue adelante y el agresor puede ser llevado a juicio.
