The Court of Appeal found the trial judge did not sufficiently analyse material aspects of the prosecution case (notably the short duration of contact, the fact contact occurred under a quilt and whether the touching could have been accidental, and the potential effect of a mischaracterisation of clothing), identified potential doubt as to whether the touching was intentional, concluded that the conviction was therefore not safe, granted the renewed out‑of‑time leave, allowed the appeal and quashed the conviction and sentence.
