Anonymous of 15.59: No. A defendant in a rape trial may not cross-examine in person; if he is unrepresented the court appoints a lawyer to do so. That was introduced after and because of one nasty case, but in practice rape defendants are always legally aided. And more often that not represented by female counsel.
