Under what circumstances will a search warrant be issued for the home of an alleged sexual abuse victim be granted?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Wilkinson, No. 16-30078 (9th Cir. 2017):

under the "totality-of-the-circumstances" set forth in the affidavit, "there is a fair probability that contraband or evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place." Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238 (1983). Interpreting the affidavit in a "commonsense[ ] manner" and paying "great deference" to the magistrate's finding of probable cause, as we must, id. at 236 (quotation marks and quoted references omitted), we do not find that the affidavit supporting the search warrant of Wilkinson's home was deficient. The affidavit contains relevant statements from the victim, her mother, and her grandfather that would lead a magistrate judge to reasonably conclude that evidence that Wilkinson sexually abused the victim would be found at the address.
