Question juridique clé
Whether the victim could be interviewed by video without direct confrontation with the accused.
Solution extraite
The victim's explicit request to avoid confrontation could be respected; ordering a video interview did not violate federal law.
Motifs extraits
The record showed that the victim expressly demanded no personal encounter. The accused failed to show that the factual findings were manifestly incorrect or that the victim had lost victim status; the investigation on fraud and exploitation of distress was still pending.
