In People v. Bledsoe (1984) 36 Cal.3d 236, the Supreme Court, addressing the issue of the admissibility of rape trauma syndrome evidence, concluded that rape trauma syndrome evidence does not meet the Kelly-Frye test People v. Kelly (1976), Frye v. United States (D.C. Cir. 1923) of reliability for new scientific methods of proof because the scientific community does not rely on it for the purpose of proving "that the witness was raped." ( Id. at p. 251.) However, the court stated that in certain situations, the evidence may be admissible for the limited purpose of "disabusing the jury of some widely held misconceptions about rape and rape victims, so that it may evaluate the evidence free of the constraints of popular myths. " ( Id. at pp. 247-248.)
