- High Court
The Court admitted the Crown's propensity evidence: convictions relating to E were admissible for charges of kidnapping/detention (charge seven) and the sexual violation charges (charges nine and ten) because the proven prior offending showed a highly probative tendency to use violence and fear to obtain sexual submission and to detain partners, and that probative value outweighed the risk of unfair prejudice; convictions relating to A and K were admissible for the detention/kidnapping charge for the same reasons.
