    The court found the prosecution proved all elements of section 14(a) AKKSTKK 2017 beyond reasonable doubt: the child victim's sworn testimony was credible and unusually convincing and was corroborated by supporting evidence (cousin's account, medical reports). Defence denials and procedural complaints (absence of DNA, vague date, non-compliance with s.28A(2), non-production of certain witnesses) did not create reasonable doubt. Therefore the accused was convicted and sentenced accordingly.
