The appeal is dismissed: the trial judge did not err in refusing a mandatory corroboration warning post s4B, the jury directions on the ingredients of rape and on recent complaint were adequate and not misleading, prosecutorial remarks did not breach the statutory prohibition on commenting on silence, and the sentence of seven years was not manifestly excessive given the deliberate removal of the condom, non-consensual penetration, sustained violence, threats and detention.
