Procedural Posture
Criminal Trial / Judgment and Sentencing
Legal Issues
- 1 Whether the accused had unlawful sexual intercourse with the victim under the age of 18 years.
- 2 Whether the prosecution proved the identity of the accused as the perpetrator beyond reasonable doubt.
- 3 Whether the evidence of the victim, a child of tender years, was sufficiently corroborated to sustain a conviction.
Ratio Decidendi
The court found that the prosecution proved all three ingredients of defilement: the victim was under 18 years, sexual intercourse occurred, and the accused was positively identified as the perpetrator.

The prosecution discharged its burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt. The accused was convicted of defilement under Section 123(1) of the Penal Code Act and...
Court Disposition

Orders
- The accused is convicted of defilement contrary to Section 123(1) of the Penal Code Act.
- The accused shall serve a sentence of thirteen (13) years imprisonment.
