Key legal question
Whether the cantonal appellate court arbitrarily assessed the evidence and violated in dubio pro reo by preferring the complainant's version of events.
Extracted holding
No. The appellate court reasonably relied on the complainant's statements, witnesses, and medical findings; no serious doubt remained.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the appellate court carefully compared the parties' statements, considered language difficulties, weighed witness testimony and medical evidence, and permissibly found the complainant more credible. The defendant failed to show arbitrariness.
