Their other conflict is with the equally strong feminist "party line" position that the victim should never be put on trial and that her previous sexual experiences, and even her life experiences which may allow juries to think that she somehow desereved to be raped by the way she had dressed, or acted, or such in the past, should be completely out of bounds.

Its funny that I read your post about this today. Last night I saw the movie "Town Without Pity"

"Synopsis: In a post-World War II German town, four American soldiers are facing trial for the rape of a young girl, but the fact that she's a nymphette, given to enticing men, might help them avoid the death penalty. "

"When four young American soldiers are accused of raping a girl from a German village near their camp, Major Steve Garrett is assigned the distasteful task of defending them. It soon becomes clear that the Army, the villagers, and even the girl's family are more interested in revenge than in the welfare of the distraught victim. Garrett is faced with the dilemma of destroying the girl on the witness stand in order to save the lives of his clients."
