The trial judge's acceptance of the victim's credible, detailed testimony was supported by corroborative evidence (medical evidence of vaginal tear consistent with timing, discovery of a green screwdriver, and unique identifying feature), the appellant failed to provide a valid or substantiated alibi (exhibit D38 was vague and no proper notice provided), and there were no compelling reasons to disturb the factual findings; therefore conviction under s376(1) and s506 and the sentences imposed were affirmed.
