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.
