Description

1. Under the established rule in this State, the penetration of the female sexual organ by the sexual organ of the male, which is necessary to constitute rape, need be only slight; it is not necessary that the vagina shall be entered or the hymen ruptured, but an entering of the anterior of the organ, known as the vulva or labia, is sufficient. Morris v. State, 54 Ga. 440, 441; Ravenel v. State, 153 Ga. 130 (2) (111 S.E. 643); Hall v. State, 29 Ga. App. 383 (1- a) (115 S.E. 278); 44 Am. Jur. 903, Â§ 3; 52 C.J. 1015, Â§ 24. A compliance with this element of the statute was sufficiently shown by testimony of the victim, fourteen years of age, as to an interior injury, soreness, and pain, with testimony of the examining doctor that, although there had been no penetration through the hymen into the vagina, he found an abrasion in the mucus membrane "on the lower fold of the vagina," which in his opinion "would require some slight penetration of the vagina to cause."
