The opinion
HUTCHINSON, Justice,
dissenting.
I join the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Larsen. However, on remand I would instruct the lower court to consider the application of the unqualified statutory privilege of sexual assault counselors for victim’s communications to them, 42 Pa.C.S. § 5945.1, to these facts, as affected by appellee’s right of confrontation under the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
