The High Court upheld the trial court's findings that the complainant was a credible and consistent witness; identified discrepancies were immaterial and understandable given trauma; absence of psychological/CIC/CCTV evidence did not prejudice the prosecution because oral testimony was sufficient; the amended charge was properly allowed and not prejudicial; alleged non-speaking judgment was only a typographical lapse and not material; defence account was inconsistent and failed to raise reasonable doubt; accordingly conviction and sentence were affirmed.
