The High Court held the trial judge did not err: SP5 was a child based on testimony and supporting family evidence; the judge properly tested competency and applied s18 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 permitting conviction on child evidence; corroborative statements from SP3 and SP4 and investigative record supported SP5; the appellant's claim of accidental touching failed to raise reasonable doubt as to intention and guilt, therefore conviction and sentence were affirmed.
