Trial judge’s factual findings that multiple women acted as paid hostesses/prostitutes, that the first appellant arranged and facilitated prostitution and thereby breached club licence conditions, and that the second appellant worked in breach of her stay conditions were supported by contemporaneous CCTV and undercover witness evidence; credibility determinations were within the trial judge’s province and not perverse; accordingly both convictions are safe and the first appellant’s sentence of 3 months immediate imprisonment is not manifestly excessive.
