How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- touching vulva or labia intrusive enough for wrongful penetration of vagina
- new trial warranted where “diagnosis” of “sexual molestation,” term “synonymous to laymen with indecent assault and battery,” was not redacted
- admission of so much of hospital record that contained “diagnosis” of “sexual molestation” was error entitling defendant to new trial
- intrusion into the vagina itself is not required to make out wrongful penetration; touching of vulva or labia sufficient
- “Intrusion into the vagina itself is not required to make out the wrongful penetration. Touching by the male of the vulva or labia ... is intrusion enough”
- “Intrusion into the vagina itself is not required to make out the wrongful penetration”
