Inaccurate assumptions about medical evidence in adult victim sexual assault trialsundermine fairness in the justice system. These trials bring with them expectations about the kinds of injuries “real” victims sustain, the kind of medical evidence that will beoffered, who will present it, and what the medical evidence can “prove”.
