McCombs v. State
McCombs v. State
Opinion of the Court
3. The character for chastity of the prosecutrix, in this class of cases,"cannot be impeached by evidence of particular acts of unchastity, but only by general evidence of her reputation in that respect. Nor can she be interrogated as to previous criminal intercourse with persons other than the accused himself; nor is such evidence of other instances admissible. Pleasants v. The State, 15 Ark.
