In the setting of a forensic examination following rape, colposcopy allows practitioners to identify and photograph genital injury not readily visible to the unaided eye, thereby clarifying the location and extent of injury as well as providing evidence for court proceedings. Since the 1980s, the technique once reserved for victims of child abuse has been used across the lifespan and has been shown to identify genital injury in up to 87% of women who have been raped. The role of colposcopic findings as evidence in court testimony, however, remains controversial. This paper explores the history of colposcopy in the rape exam and describes the epidemiology of genital injury in consensual sex as well as rape.
在强奸案后的法医检查中，阴道镜检查可让从业者识别并拍摄肉眼不易察觉的生殖器损伤，从而明确损伤的位置和程度，并为法庭诉讼提供证据。自20世纪80年代以来，这项曾专为虐待儿童受害者保留的技术已应用于各个年龄段的人群，并且已证实在高达87%的强奸女性受害者中可识别出生殖器损伤。然而，阴道镜检查结果在法庭证词中作为证据的作用仍存在争议。本文探讨了阴道镜检查在强奸检查中的历史，并描述了自愿性行为以及强奸中生殖器损伤的流行病学情况。
