Most investigators will build their case by gathering information from people who are not at risk of criminal prosecution, such as other guests at the party. As I said, it's an art, and they know what they're doing. Have you ever noticed how many people are convicted of a crime with little or no physical evidence, other than their admission of guilt given during a police interrogation?

As the husband of one of our favorite swinging couples (and a police detective of a large, mid-Ohio city) once told me..."Our department no longer usees rubber hoses to get a confession, because we don't need rubber hoses to get a confession."

Hey, I'm not trying to hijack this thread, or convince you to do something you're not comfortable doing. Just tossing out what I know about this stuff...
True. There will be plenty of aggressive interrogation, and the police may in fact uncover a credible witness to a crime. (A bonafide confession will be much harder to come by.) Even if someone witnessed sexual activity involving this couple, it will be difficult for them to conclude that it was nonconsentual.

Consider the Duke Lacrosse Team rape case. Thus far - no eye witnesses to a rape (other than the alleged victim), no damming DNA evidence and no confessions - yet the prosecution is proceeding (to the surprise and dismay of many, including us).
