Victim need not prove she resisted rape – SC

THE Supreme Court has ruled that a rape victim need not prove that she resisted in cases of rape committed by force, threat, or intimidation.

In a decision written by Associate Justice Maria Filomena Singh, the Supreme Court's Third Division affirmed the conviction of a man who was charged with the rape and sexual abuse of his daughter from when she was 9 years old until she was 16 — from 2009 to 2015.
