Description
Rape-Shield Statute. Evidence, Expert opinion, Prior inconsistent statement. Practice, Criminal, Argument by prosecutor. On appeal from convictions by a jury on indictments charging him with rape of a child under sixteen years of age (G. L. c. 265, Sect. 22A) and indecent assault and battery on a child under age fourteen (G. L. c. 265, Sect. 13B), the defendant claims error in the exclusion of evidence under G. L. c. 233, Sect. 21B, the so-called ""rape-shield"" statute, in the refusal to allow impeachment of the victim with a prior inconsistent statement, and in the prosecutor's closing argument. We see no error and affirm the convictions.
