If a man rapes a woman, does the defense have a right to throw the victim’s entire medical and psychological history out into the open?

No wonder most rapes are never reported.

Did it happen at a gas station ?

There are a grand total of two defenses in rape cases.

1) It wasn't me.

2) The other(usually a female, but not always) consented.

If the prosecution has proof that shows a sex act took place between the accuser and the defendant, the defense is reduced to only number 2.

Since there are cases where the accuser consents, later regrets and makes a false accusation, and the defendant has to be allowed to defend him(her)self, yeah, it gets unpleasant.

I would think the reason they were able to charge those boys with rape was because its illegal to have to underage sex.
