- Court of Appeal
The appeal was dismissed because the challenged evidence and s 9 counter-intuitive statement were admissible and not used improperly to decide credibility of the particular complainant, the trial Judge's interventions and some undesirable questioning did not create a real risk of miscarriage of justice, and the jury could reasonably rely on the complainant's pre-recorded interview and contextual evidence to convict on the 2015 touching charge.
