The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"[The defendant's] assertion that M's complaint of painful urination was essentially `self-corroborating' because it was hearsay and was made at the same time M described the act of penetration lacks merit. The painful urination statement, although hearsay, was admissible into evidence under [Wash. R. Evid.] 803(a)(4). Thus, the painful urination statement was of a completely different nature than the statements regarding penetration."”
