The Court held that the statutory scheme for child complainants permitted the use of video-recorded examination in chief and live television cross-examination where the complainant was under the relevant age when recorded and there was no logical basis to cut off special measures once the complainant turned 17; further, where the alleged offending constituted a continuing indistinguishable course of conduct the evidence was sufficient without election and the indictment did not prejudice the defendant, so the convictions were safe.
