Hello, I am 20 years old and I am currently living in Canada. I was recently accused of sexually assaulting a woman who I had had consensual sex with. As a means to prove my innocence it was suggested that I take a polygraph test. I do not know the law in Canada well enough to know what the repercussions of me failing this test would be.



Furthermore I have read some of the most revealing posts in your forum so I have come to understand that I am supposed to react heavier to 'Control' questions then I am relevant ones but I have yet to understand how I am supposed to react to irrelevant questions or are these the ones that'll be used to measure whether I am, in the opinion of the polygraphers, being deceptive or not. If I am not correct please explain it in laymen terms. I really need to pass this. This woman is accusing me of something I did not do and it is threatening to ruin my life.





Innocent,



I don't know the law in Canada. However as George said a polygraph will not clear you in most cases. It can only hurt you to voluntarily submit to one.

Contact a lawyer since the charge you face may be serious.

Taking a poly will only give the police the opp to interrogate you without an attorney.

Tell them to pound sand
