Description
In the circumstances of a trial of indictments alleging the sexual abuse of two children, a letter, written by one victim and addressed to the defendant, was properly admitted, with jury instructions, as a prior consistent statement to rebut the defense theory, developed on cross-examination, that the victim had fabricated her allegations under pressure from her social worker. [34-39] At a criminal trial the Judge properly excluded testimony of a defense witness concerning the victim's reputation in the community for truth and veracity, where no proper foundation for the admission of such evidence was established. [39-40]
