The Commonwealth's medical expert. Dr. Jean Emans, testified that the hymeneal
bump she found on S.W. in December of 1984 could have been caused by

the vagina, that an object being inserted in that area could touch the
hymen on the way to trying to find the anus." (Vol. 35, p.133)

The court ordered that this testimony be stricken. (Vol. 40, pp.6-7)
