| Moreover, appellant's assertion that "AAA" had male companions in her boarding house and that anyone of them could have indulged in sexual intercourse with her is purely speculative and has no factual basis. "A rape victim's testimony as to who abused her is credible where she has absolutely no motive to incriminate and testify against the accused."[17] Verily, it is unlikely and unnatural for a victim and her relatives to point to someone else as the author of the crime other than the real culprit.[18] | |||||

| It is well-established that when a woman says that she has been raped, she says, in effect, all that is necessary to show that she has indeed been raped.[19] A victim of rape would not come out in the open if her motive were anything other than to obtain justice. Her testimony as to who abused her is credible where she has absolutely no motive to incriminate and testify against the accused,[20] as in this case where the accusations were raised by private complainant against her own father. | |||||
