The injuries sustained by a 22-year-old Filipina who has accused four US Marines of rape indicated that she might have been forced to have sex, a prosecution witness said yesterday.


Prosecutors contend that Lance Corporal Daniel Smith raped "Nicole," while his three co-accused, Lance Corporals Dominic Duplantis and Keith Silkwood and S/Sgt. Chad Carpentier cheered him on.


Forensic pathologist Racquel Fortun, the prosecution’s expert witness, told the Makati City regional trial court yesterday that the injuries of Nicole were consistent with rape.
