The Court dismissed the appeals. It held the trial judge had not erred in law in handling evidence of uncharged acts, properly assessed demeanour and credibility and reasonably rejected the mother’s account in light of omissions and medical evidence; the medical report was correctly interpreted as reporting percentiles; and the aggregate immediate sentence of 30 months (18 months plus a further 12 months to run consecutively in part) was within the permissible range and not manifestly excessive given the serious, repeated and concealed abuse of a seven‑year‑old in the care of the appellant.
