The High Court dismissed the appeal against conviction because the trial judge correctly found the complainant's evidence to be detailed, consistent and 'unusually convincing' such that the conviction was safe despite investigative gaps and alleged afterthought defences; the alibi was properly excluded for failure to give statutory notice; on sentencing the court exercised its appellate power to increase imprisonment from 6 to 7 years while maintaining three strokes and ancillary rehabilitation and supervision orders, with police supervision reduced to 2 years.
