- Court of Appeal
The statutory charge of sexual violation sufficiently informed the defendant of the essential elements; further particulars were unnecessary and precluded by lack of evidence as to the precise means of penetration; where alternatives are modes of a single act unanimity on the exact mode is unnecessary so long as the jury unanimously find the defendant penetrated the complainant; the forensic and interview evidence were relevant and admissible; no miscarriage of justice was shown and the appeal is dismissed.
