Abstract
The crime of rape has been repeatedly emphasized in the courts exclusively by the victim's allegations, on the grounds that such acts usually occur in hiding, without face-toface witnesses. The principle in dubio pro reo is relegated to a secondary plan by admitting
that the account of a supposedly offended person should prevail in the confrontation with the defensive version. Psychosocial studies, often dismissed by the courts, need to be more valued.
