Evidence on RTS has been used in many US court cases to refute the mythology about women's sexuality and violence against women. RTS has also been used to prove non-consent to intercourse. The use of RTS evidence in Canadian courts would facilitate the prosecution of sexual assault cases while reducing the trauma experienced by the victim.
