I have a lot of trouble with them not being able to have access to her medical records.

Colorado laws are supposedly the toughest victim protection rules in the nation and as far as I know they are not allowed to get them and previous history is NOT considered. Even if she was a prostitute it could not be mentioned unless relevant to the case. (Now, that's fuzzy memory that I am working here with).

Reports are she tried to commit suicide.

The emotionally/mentally unstable people are most likely to be victims of rape. Their own bad judgment makes them vulnerable to just this kind of attack.

I'd hate to think we are going to start distrusting people because they tried to kill themselves.

Now, if there was information in her health records that she's made unsubstantiated claims before, then I think the defense attorneys would be able to successfully challenge the ruling and the judge would reverse himself.
