What are some cases involving the taking of a semen sample from a sexual assault defendant to conduct a test for trichomoniasis?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Johnetta J. v. Municipal Court, 218 Cal.App.3d 1255, 267 Cal.Rptr. 666 (Cal. App. 1990):

The line begins with People v. Scott (1978) 21 Cal.3d 284, 145 Cal.Rptr. 876, 578 P.2d 123, which involved the taking of a semen sample from a child molestation defendant to conduct a test for trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease which the victim had contracted and which she could only have caught from her assailant. "The routine test for trichomoniasis ... consisted of a manual massage of the prostate gland administered through the rectum and causing a discharge of a sample of semen" for testing for trichomoniasis organisms. (Id., at p. 289, 145 Cal.Rptr. 876, 578 P.2d 123.) The People obtained a court order authorizing the test, and the order was challenged on appeal.
