This lady not only has a history that can be used to establish the fact that she's unstable and lying, was seen afterwards acting as if nothign had happened by her coworker although claiming she was distraught, and also the latest evidence of another man's sperm.  All that combined are good in helping paint a picture of this woman that could show that she is lying by the defense.

OK Kobe was the only known case I could come up with at the last minute.  It is a common practice though to bring a woman's sexual history into court for a rape case for the reasons you mentioned.  All I was saying was that most rapes go unreported because women don't want to go through that embarressment.  Just playing Devil's Advocate with the 'rapes not being accepted in the U.S."
