But, without sperm will there be DNA? Seminal fluid will likely be long gone so I’m not sure if DNA from sperm can linger after the sperm are already broken down by the decomposition or not. I mean, what if there was rape without ejaculation. Would DNA be present to indicate a rape?
That is why I was asking the length of time sperm was valid on a decomposing body because even if he did rape her it might be long gone but there will be DNA. But according to what BUF posted there can be a 5-6 week span where it might be able to be retrieved depending on so many things such as stage and length of decomp, temperatures, bug & maggot activity etc.
