Heading: Christine Hazlett-Allen's Testimony

Text: D.E.K. was examined by Christine Hazlett-Allen, a sexual assault nurse examiner, on July 18. Allen collected evidence, including the underwear that D.E.K. had been wearing at the time of the incident. The collected evidence was sent to the KBI; however, no biological evidence was found on the clothing. Allen also examined D.E.K.'s vaginal area using a colposcope to magnify and photograph the area. Some of the photographs were introduced at trial. Allen described injuries to D.E.K.'s hymen that were consistent with a blunt penetrating trauma. D.E.K. told Allen that Baughman had fingered her and that they had had vaginal intercourse. Allen said the injuries were consistent with an object entering the vagina, and consistent with what D.E.K. told her. But she said there was no way for her to know what caused the injury.
