OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court says an alleged sexual assault victim can be sent to jail if she refuses to testify about the details of the assault.

The woman, referenced only as “H.M.” in court documents, appealed after being found in contempt in April 2011 by Lancaster County District Judge Paul Merritt. The judge ordered her to testify in the trial of a man charged with sexually assaulting her when she was 7.

The woman refused, saying that testifying would cause her deep humiliation. But the judge ordered her to testify or face 90 days in jail.

The high court upheld Merritt’s ruling on Friday, saying that a state law allowing witnesses to decline to testify if it would subject them to public disgrace does not apply in criminal cases.
