2. ““Although the exposure of discrepancies in a prosecutrix’ testimony sometimes may be the only method by which a defendant can demonstrate the falsity of an accusation, some discrepancies in the testimony of a child may be expected when nearly a year has elapsed between incident and trial. . . .
