Sweeney, J.

¶1 This is a prosecution for rape of a child in the third degree. The defendant testified in his own *382defense. The State tried to cross-examine on matters beyond the scope of direct examination. The trial court refused to allow the inquiry but then allowed the State to call the defendant as a rebuttal witness after concluding that the defendant had waived his Fifth Amendment right.
