[] [...] medical examination [...] only makes sense if carried out immediately after a violent rape, to document possible bruises, fissures or traces ot sperm at the anal opening. For the rest of the anal area, the sphincter muscle is too elastic to be permanantly deformed by the relatively brief introduction of a penis. The myth of the funnel-shaped anus in cases of frequent anal intercourse seems to go back over a hundred years to Tardieu (1873) and is entirely imaginary. (Brongersma,p.119)

Ingram

The English youth councellor, Father Ingram, saw a boy of 11 who "was taken ot the police station where he was told to lower his trousers. A doctor examined his penis, retracting the foreskin. The boy was made to bend down while the doctor put a lubricated rubber sheat on his finger which he inserted into the boy's rectum (...) As a psychiatrist involved in the case put it, `If he hadn't been buggered by the man, he certainly had been by the doctor`."
