Anyone who makes that statement has either not read what Dr. Krugman stated, or read it and misinterpreted it, deliberately misrepresented it, or simply quoted someone else who did one of those things. But don’t ever include Dr. McCann as one who said her injuries was “
non sexual.”
Rather than write it all over again, here is a post with the findings of Dr. McCann:

...and here is a much longer post with a background on Dr. McCann and why he should be paid close attention to:

Dr. Krugman is another story entirely though. Krugman said one thing in public and something else in private to investigators. Krugman was also considered an authority on something he called “toilet rage” because he had documented a case of it, and because his testimony helped convict the parents of an abused child who had died from the injuries she had sustained. So not surprisingly, he believed JonBenet had been abused as a result of a parent who lost control over problems with toilet training. (Steve Thomas bought into that theory and used it in his book.) Can you see how acknowledging that the genital injuries were the result of sexual abuse would contradict his area of expertise?
But Krugman never said she had
not been sexually abused -- only that it couldn’t be determined conclusively. The main reason he was noncommittal was because he said the intent of the person who caused the injuries wasn’t known (IOW, if she was abused for sexual gratification or as a means of punishment). He said without evidence of semen, a confirmed STD, the child’s own testimony, or a known history of sexual abuse, it was impossible to determine the intent of the person who caused the genital injuries.
For a more complete understanding of why Krugman had difficulty in deciding on whether or not JonBenet had been “sexually abused” as opposed to “physically abused,” you can read the following post with some of his quotes:
