Rape is a grave physical violation.
It debases a woman s dignity, leaves a scar in her body and soul that not even time can heal. It subjects the woman s honor to scorn and its violation to public condemnation. At times the victim is left not only with her pain, but worse with a child conceived not out of love but lust and bestiality. Hence, this appeal. The trial court relied on the testimony of the victim Leonida Brina, which was corroborated by other prosecution witnesses and the medico legal report of Dr. Fatima L. Buhay, who also testified in court.
