[2012] EWCA Crim 2516

A reference in the evidence of a medical expert to a research paper on the incidence of genital injury in rape cases was admissible, despite allegations by the defence that it was misleading for lack of clarity, where that evidence did not form the sole basis for the expert's opinion and where a note to the jury dictated by the judge made it clear that the article related to women who reported that they had been raped.
