Although the magistrate applied appropriate caution and was entitled to assess demeanour and demonstrations, substantial concerns about discrepancies in PW1's account—notably the late assertion about touching the bra and ambiguous content of the recent complaint—left a lurking doubt about the occurrence of the charged (third) stage; that reasonable doubt rendered the conviction unsafe and required quashing by the appellate court.
