	GR No. 177822 2008-06-17	PEOPLE v. HILARIO OPONG Y TAÑESA CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
An intact hymen does not negate a finding that the victim was raped,[46] and a freshly broken hymen is not an essential element of rape.[47]
	GR No. 142740 2003-08-06	PEOPLE v. ROBERTO TAMPOS Y AGUSTIN QUISUMBING, J.
In several cases, we have held that rupture of the hymen or vaginal lacerations are not necessary for rape to be consummated.[50] An intact hymen does not negate a finding that the victim was raped. To commit the crime of rape the rupture of the hymen is not indispensable.[51]
