| The records show that Mylene was in tears while narrating in court her father's monstrous acts.[20] Indeed, when the victim says that she has been violated, she says in effect all that is necessary to show that rape has been committed.[21] No woman, especially one of tender age, would concoct a story of defloration, allow an examination of her private parts and thereafter expose herself to a public trial, if she were not motivated solely by the desire to have the culprit apprehended and punished.[22] It is against human nature for a girl to fabricate a story that would expose herself as well as her family to a lifetime of dishonor, especially when her charge could mean the death of her own father.[23] | |||||
