Conviction was upheld because the child complainant’s sworn evidence was found unusually convincing, consistent on the core facts, and admissible under s18 AKSTK despite lack of corroboration; alleged contradictions and investigative omissions were non-material and not fatal; however the aggregate sentence imposed by the trial court was manifestly excessive and was reduced by the High Court to 6 months imprisonment (from date of High Court decision) and two strokes, with other ancillary orders maintained.
