LOUIS J. CECI, J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I join section I.C. of the majority opinion. I agree with the majority's conclusion that the judge erroneously exercised his discretion by denying Michael R. B. the opportunity to present the testimony of Dr. Roen-ning. Such testimony was highly relevant and admissible in order to rebut Dr. O'Brien's testimony regarding the normal condition of an eight-year-old's hymen. I also agree with the majority that this error was prejudicial.
I disagree with, however, and reject the remainder of the majority opinion.
