Kernrechtsfrage
Whether refusal to confront the child victim or arrange indirect questioning violated the appellant's right to be heard and fair trial rights.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal was permissible because a direct confrontation risked psychological harm to the child, and the appellant's hearing rights could be secured by other means.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the victim-protection rules for minors, confrontation may be denied if it would traumatize the child and the defense can still be safeguarded otherwise. Here, the child had already been heard once by police, and alternative questioning methods were available.
