The magistrate erred by relying on the complainant's statement that she would not fabricate the allegation and by failing to address and evaluate material discrepancies between the complainant's evidence and the teacher's account; those discrepancies, considered on rehearing, cast doubt on credibility and rendered the conviction unsafe, mandating allowance of the appeal.
