| Worthy to note were the tears shed by AAA while giving an account of her awful experience in the hands of her ravisher before the court a quo. To the mind of this Court, such tears were a clear indication that she was telling the truth. AAA, young as she is, would not endure the pain and the difficulty of a public trial wherein she had to narrate over and over again how her person was violated if she has not in truth been raped and impelled to seek justice for what the appellant had done to her. As it has been repeatedly held, no woman would want to go through the process, the trouble and the humiliation of trial for such a debasing offense unless she actually has been a victim of abuse and her motive is but a response to the compelling need to seek and obtain justice.[26] | |||||
