| When a woman or a girl-child says that she has been raped, she says in effect all that is necessary to show that rape has indeed been committed.[25] Considering the age of the complainant, who was ten years old when the crime was committed, the Court finds it improbable for a girl of her age to fabricate a charge so humiliating to herself and her family had she not been truly subjected to the painful experience of sexual abuse. | |||||

| Petitioners' alibi, which was supported by the testimonies of close relatives and friends, cannot overcome the convincing evidence adduced by the prosecution. Such corroborative testimonies of relatives and friends are viewed with suspicion and skepticism by the Court.[16] | |||||
