    The court found prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that defendant used criminal force to outrage the victim's modesty (s354) and voluntarily caused grievous hurt (s325) because the complainant's testimony was consistent, credible and corroborated by SP2 and medical evidence (SP6) establishing compression fracture of L2 and posterior 10th rib fracture; the defendant's bare denial and uncorroborated defence failed to raise reasonable doubt and intent/knowledge was properly inferred from the nature and degree of force used.
