I will have to leave but I will try to come back. I have a few questions for Dr. Saidléar. Regarding her comment on head 5 that other sexual experience should be defined more clearly and comprehensively to include, for example, references to miscarriage. Why has this been included? Has it come up before? I have certainly never heard of a case where this was referred to by a defence counsel in a court case.
