The High Court upheld the convictions because the trial judge properly applied s.133A and ECWA safeguards, accepted admissible and corroborative evidence (medical, technical, investigator and video-recorded child interview), and correctly held that the victim's inconsistencies were non-material. The court found the original aggregate 8-year sentence inadequate in light of statutory objectives and sentencing precedents and increased imprisonment to 10 years while reducing corporal punishment from two to one stroke per count; sentences to run concurrently.
