The Magistrate was entitled to accept the complainant's evidence and to disbelieve aspects of the appellant's account; the inconsistencies did not create a lurking doubt and the conviction is safe. The original 21-day sentence was within guideline but was reduced to 14 days to account for time already spent in custody and specific mitigation (family illness and employment), with the 14 days regarded as served.
