Those who made such claims were much more likely to have signed a chastity pledge and also to say that their parents talked to them rarely or never about sex and birth control.
If they were involved in heavy petting and weren't careful where the semen ended up, or if they were practicing anal like so many chastity pledgers do, and some semen dripped down into her vulva, then plausible. Otherwise they're probably lying their asses off. Considering that their parents rarely or never talked to them about sex and birth control, either scenario is likely.
At any rate, this is good evidence that "abstinence only" doesn't work worth shit for preventing unwanted pregnancies.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
