Testimony corroborating rape must do two things:

• A. Establish at least an attempt to have sexual contact; connect ∆ w/ commission or attempt of the crime
• B. Prove the victim's age
• C. Prove the defendant's alibi
• D. Prove consent

Answer: (A)

Corroboration for a rape case requires two things: there must be evidence that some sexual contact occurred or there was an attempt to have sexual contact, and there must be evidence tying the defendant to the crime (the commission or an attempt). The first part confirms that the act happened in a way that fits the offense, while the second part connects that act to the person on trial, making sure the alleged act is attributed to the defendant and not to someone else. The other options aren’t about corroborating the act itself: proving the victim’s age can influence which statute applies but isn’t part of the corroboration requirement; proving the defendant’s alibi doesn’t establish the act or link the defendant to it; and proving consent would undercut the offense, not support the need for corroboration.
