Revision as of 13:06, 6 April 2009

Reflex anal dilatation refers to the theory that in child victims anal rape, the anus will reflexively open on stimulation to a diameter larger than 2 cm.[1] Some clinicians such as Marietta Higgs and her followers have gained clearance to probe the anuses of suspected child victims, going on to claim that resulting dilation is proof of sodomy. Anal dilation has been observed in children with suspected chronic anal rape[2][3] and children with chronic constipation.[4]

Despite the theory's misuse, and significant opposition to such use,[5] reflex anal dilatation is still considered one of many symptoms observable in anally raped children[6][7][8]

Commentary

Day of Reckoning

"In 1986, toddler Lyndsey Wise scratched her arms while picking bilberries. At Middlesbrough General Hospital, she and her sister were examined by Dr. Marietta Higgs. Not only were their parents accused of sexually abusing their daughters, the foster parents with whom the girls were placed and who intended to adopt them were also accused, the foster father arrested for buggery on Higgs’ further testimony. By 1987 the activities of Higgs had filled the wards of Middlesbrough General Hospital with children taken from their parents after alleged sexual abuse, all of whom had undergone similar ordeals to that of the Wise sisters. The affair became the notorious Cleveland Child Abuse Controversy, but despite public outrage and all the parents being cleared, Marietta Higgs never conceded that she was wrong and continued to work as a paediatrician.

A general view was that the only abuse the children had suffered was from the probing fingers of Higgs and her abuse hunting team."

Comparison with anal wink

Reflex anal dilatation stands in direct opposition to anal wink, another theory frequently misused by the Child Abuse Industry in unrelated legal cases.
