Rape shield law

A rape shield law is a law that limits the ability to introduce evidence about the past sexual activity of a complainant in a sexual assault trial, or that limits cross-examination of complainants about their past sexual behaviour in sexual assault cases.[1] The term also refers to a law that prohibits the publication of the identity of a complainant in a sexual assault case.
