The opinion

Brown, J.

(concurring). I add a reluctant concurrence. I think that this case comes close to requiring reversal of the defendant’s conviction because his right to cross-examine the victim effectively was impaired. See State v. Swenson, 62 Wash. 2d 259, 278-281 (1963). Cf. Commonwealth v. Funches, 379 Mass. 283, 291-294 (1979).
