    The appellate court upheld the conviction because the trial judge's finding that the complainant's testimony was clear, detailed, consistent and corroborated by independent witnesses and documentary evidence was reasonable on the record; deficiencies in forensic/CCTV evidence and the existence of an old hymenal tear did not render the prosecution case unsafe, and there was no demonstrable misdirection or perversity in the trial court's assessment of credibility.
