Problem
A man suspected in a series of rapes in the neighborhood has just been arrested. The suspect has been given his Miranda Warnings and is sitting in an interrogation room. The investigator tells the suspect that if he does not come clean and tell the truth about his involvement, it will be necessary to tell his family, including his wife and children, and his employer that he is a rape suspect. The man then offers a full confession.
a) Would this confession be admissible in court or was it coerced? Explain your answer.
b) Was the investigator's method to get the suspect to confess unethical?
