| For that matter, the mere touching of the labia or pudendum by the male organ is enough to consummate the crime of rape.[25] It is enough that there is a penetration, however slight, of the external genitalia.[26] Consequently, the fact that there was no laceration of complainant's private parts or that her hymen was intact, as testified to by Dr. Amora,[27] does not preclude a finding of rape against accused-appellant. It bears emphasis that a broken hymen or laceration of any part of the female genital is not a pre-requisite for a conviction for rape.[28] | |||||
