    Court convicted because forensic evidence (P25) established accused's semen on the victim's clothing and medical evidence (P9) showed a fresh hymen tear consistent with recent penetration; notwithstanding some inconsistencies in witness statements, the totality of forensic and medical evidence and the inability of the defence to raise reasonable doubt led the court to find the prosecution proved the offence beyond reasonable doubt and to reject the alibi/denial.
