To interview a witness or victim of a crime, it would have to be with the permission of that person and not interfere with the investigation by authorities. A victim or a witness is a private citizen and has the right to refuse or cooperate with an unofficial interview.

Added: If the case is still open and under active investigation the private party would have to secure permission of the investigating authorities to speak with the victim or witness in depth, or run the risk of criminal prosecution themselves for "Interfering With An Investigation, or even "Obstruction of Justice." The "press" is, of course, exempted from this insofar as their casual and immediate questions are concerned, but would be prohibited from conducting lengthy in-depth interviews.

As a general rule defendants do not have a right to confront victims at a trial?

In most legal systems, defendants do not have the right to confront victims directly during a trial, particularly in cases involving sensitive matters such as domestic violence or sexual assault. This is to protect victims from further trauma and intimidation. Instead, testimony is typically presented through witnesses or recorded statements, allowing for a fair trial while safeguarding the well-being of the victim. The right to confront witnesses is balanced with the need for a just legal process that considers the emotional and psychological impact on victims.
