"An accusation does NOT make one guilty of that accusation, which is why we have defense attorneys and trials."

The defendant(s) absolutely deserve a fair trial, and I challenge you to show me where I said different, HOWEVER, the victim here does not deserve a trial, which is all a request for her medical records is, that is, specifically a way to slime the victim. That is not part of a fair trial.

How is it “sliming” the victim to see if [and if so show] that she had been dealing with such issues beforehand? It seems to me that the state could open the records and claim that because she did have such a history that the defendants “should have known better” or some such.

It is also EXTREMELY relevant if she accused one of the boys of rape if the medical records [and police records for that matter] show that she had been examined for rape/sexual-abuse at some point before; most especially if those findings were false accusations/reports on her part. {There ARE people who will make false claims against someone.}
