Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court's assessment of the victim's and witness's statements was arbitrary and violated the presumption of innocence
Extrahierter Entscheid
The complaint was unfounded: the cited inconsistencies concerned details and did not make the conviction unsustainable.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court held that contradictions in minor details do not usually undermine the credibility of sexual-assault victims, especially minors. The cantonal court could regard the decisive elements—being led into the room, a struggle, and use of force—as consistently established. Divergences between the two girls about what was said afterwards were not decisive, since the victim's statement that she did not want sex did not end the assault; she had to resist physically.
