    The prosecution established all elements of Section 14(a) by credible, consistent testimony of the child victim corroborated by parents and police report; the accused's persistent denial and testimony of interested family members did not create a reasonable doubt; conviction under S14(a) and consequent sentence were therefore justified.

    Plaintiff failed to prove essential element of publication to a third party and failed to prove that the defendant actually uttered the alleged words; plaintiff’s evidence was inconsistent and uncorroborated, police report carried little weight, and no medical proof of emotional harm was produced; therefore the slander claim fails and is dismissed with costs and interest awarded to defendant.
