The objective of this study was to demonstrate the type of information produced by a structured method of assessment about the credibility of testimony in a case of IPV allegations. In the selected case, the alleged victim informed the mainstream media how she had been severely beaten, impacting the alleged perpetrator’s reputation, who was immediately labeled a wife-beater, causing him significant economic, professional, and social losses. During the defamation trial, the judge found the alleged victim highly credible, heavily relying on her testimony and the testimony of non-credible witnesses to reach his decision against the claimant. However, the Six-Factor test and the B-SAFER evaluation revealed that the alleged victim’s testimony was of low credibility, meaning it is likely that she lied about the incidents of violence.
