| The theory of the defense that the charges of rape were but mere concoctions to have the accused incarcerated again as he was causing trouble at home, is worthy of scant consideration. It is unbelievable that a young barrio lass like Arsona would concoct a tale of defloration, publicly admit having been ravished by her own father, allow the examination of her private parts, and undergo the trouble and inconvenience, not to mention the trauma and the scandal, of a public trial, had she not in fact been raped[28] and had merely intended to get rid of the accused by having him put in jail. | |||||
