The Court of Appeal held the trial judge did not err in invoking s.265A CPC, accepted the victim as a credible witness supported by medical findings and CCTV opportunity evidence, found investigations adequate, and determined omission to expressly cite the cautioned statement was not fatal because its substance was considered; accordingly the conviction under s.376 Penal Code was affirmed but the sentence was reduced from 13 to 8 years imprisonment with two strokes of the cane.
