Sexual history exam I examination targets. Examiners, along with the other members of the community supervision team, should select investigation targets that provide operational relevance to actuarial and phenomenological risk/threat assessment protocols pertaining to recidivism, victim selection, and risk management decisions. Examples include the following:
A. Sexual contact with underage persons, (refer to local statutes) including sexual contact with persons younger than age 15 while the examinee was legally adult, or sexual contact with persons 4 or more years younger than the examinee if the examinee is a juvenile.
B. Sexual contact with relatives, whether by blood, marriage, or adoption, or where a relationship has a legal relationship or the appearance of a family relationship (e.g., a dating or live-in relationship with the person(s) natural, step or adoptive parent).
C. Use of violence to engage in sexual contact, including physical force/physical-restraint and threats of harm or violence toward a victim or victim's family members or pets through the use of a weapon or any verbal/non- verbal means.
D. Sexual offenses against persons who appeared to be unconscious, asleep, or incapacitated, including touching or peeping against persons who were asleep, severely intoxicated, impaired due to drugs, or who were mentally/physically helpless for other reasons.
Sexual history exam I unreported victims. When requested, examiners should conduct the Sex History Exam I (SHE-I) to investigate the examinee's lifetime history of sexually victimizing others, including behaviors related to victim selection, victim access, victim impact, and sexual offenses against unreported persons. These target issues provide a summary of several tangible signal issues that may provide usable information about victim-age, victim-profile, victim- selection, victim- control/access, and victim-silencing behaviors. SHE-I examinations may also provide information about the examinee's capacity for grooming, manipulation, violence, relationship-building and relationship- exploiting in addition to the capacity to offend in the absence of a relationship. Gathering information in these areas is additive to forensic risk assessment and risk management efforts. Ruling out matters in these SHE-I areas may permit the justification of a lower assessed risk level.

Sexual history exam I time of reference. The time of reference for the Sex History Exam I may be restricted to the period of time prior to the current court supervision order that mandated the present treatment program when there are concerns about 1) potential differences in consequences for pre-treatment or pre- conviction acts and those acts occurring post-conviction or after treatment onset, or 2) examinee rights pertaining to the behavioral targets after conviction while under the supervision of a court or in a treatment program.
Sexual history exam I testing approach. Examiners should conduct this examination as a screening examination. However, nothing in this Model Policy should be construed as to prohibit the completion of the Sex History I Exam in a series of more narrowly focused exams if this approach lends to more satisfactory resolution of the behavioral target issues.
3.3. Sexual history exam II – sexual deviancy, compulsivity, and preoccupation. When necessary, examiners should conduct the Sex History (SHE-II) examination to investigate the examinee's lifetime history of sexual deviancy, preoccupation, and compulsivity behaviors not including those behaviors described in the Sex History Exam I (Section 8.3.
