| This is especially true in a rape case in which a complainant's credibility is the single most important issue.[17] It is usually her word that she was raped vis-à-vis that of appellant who denies such charge. This is because rape is often committed in secrecy, without any other witness except the victim. Thus, the trial court is duty-bound to decide whose testimony is more credible.[18] | |||||
