| As for accused-appellant's claim that the charge of rape was not corroborated by the result of the physical examination conducted by Dr. Luna, suffice it to state here that for a conviction of rape, it is not necessary that the same be supported by medical findings of injuries as proof of injuries is not an essential element of the crime.[43] An accused can still be convicted of rape on the basis of the sole testimony of the private complainant.[44] In the present case, the prosecution was able to prove, through AAA's testimony, that accused-appellant had carnal knowledge of her against her will and consent. As we find her testimony to be free of material prevarication, we find the same sufficient to sustain accused-appellant's conviction. | |||||
