The court convicted because the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the elements of s.354: the accused forcibly pressed his chest against the female complainant in a non-consensual manner with conduct that would outrage modesty; the complainant's credible, consistent testimony corroborated by an eye-witness overcame the defence's bare denials and afterthought explanations, and the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt.
