Although the Sexual Offences Against Children Act permits conviction on uncorroborated child evidence, the court found SP1 was not of tender years but her testimony was materially inconsistent, vague on the crucial fact of penetration, and not corroborated by police or medical reports; therefore prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case and the accused was acquitted and discharged under Child Act s90(10).
