Definición

  • Rape shield laws place limits on evidence and evidentiary testimony that can be admitted during rape trials. Rape shield laws specifically restrict the introduction of sexual history evidence that is irrelevant to the charge at hand and that is introduced solely to call the victim's character into question.
