Did SVU "create" virginity in this episode?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19059points) September 22nd, 2010

I was watching an Law & Order:SVU episode and heard this exchange:
“Any chance [the 12 year old victim] lead a secret life her mom knew nothing about?” “Well, if she did, it wasn’t turning tricks. Her hymen’s intact.”

Can doctors really tell if a hymen has ever been torn, or is this the continuation of the virginity myth?
