    Appellate court found no error in trial judge's reasoned evaluation: victim despite intellectual limitations was competent and credible, her testimony was corroborated by medical evidence and prior statements, the defence amounted to bare denial and afterthought that failed to raise reasonable doubt, and the prosecution proved the offences beyond reasonable doubt; therefore convictions and concurrent sentences were affirmed.
