Popis:	OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of genital injury following penile-vaginal penetration with and without consent. DESIGN: This study compared observations of genital injuries from two cohorts. SETTING: Participants were drawn from St. Mary's Sexual Assault Referral Centre and a general practice surgery in Manchester, and a general practice surgery in Buckinghamshire. PARTICIPANTS: Two cohorts were recruited: a retrospective cohort of 500 complainants referred to a specialist Sexual Assault Referral Centre (the Cases) and 68 women recruited at the time of their routine cervical smear test who had recently had sexual intercourse (the Comparison group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Presence of genital injuries. RESULTS: 22.8% (n=00, 95% CI 19.2-26.7) of adult complainants of penile-vaginal rape by a single assailant sustained an injury to the genitalia that was visible within 48h of the incident.
