The High Court upheld the convictions on the second and third charges because the trial judge had properly evaluated credibility and found corroboration and consistency in the complainants' evidence; the accused's denial was a bare denial that did not raise a reasonable doubt under the applicable authorities; however, the original sentence was excessive given mitigating factors (first offender, no physical injury, age, family responsibilities) and was reduced from 7 to 4 years with corporal punishment reduced accordingly.
