The Court of Appeal held the High Court erred in setting aside the trial conviction; the trial judge's credibility finding based on live testimony supported by CRT review, contemporaneous complaint to a relative and police report was permissible and not vitiated by lack of notes under s.271; the prosecution proved elements of s.14(a) Akta 792; any contention that the acts amounted only to s.14(d) was unfounded; accordingly the acquittal was set aside and the original conviction and sentence of 13 years' imprisonment and three strokes reinstated with credit for time served.
