Key legal question
Whether the finding that the complainant was unable to resist and that defendant acted knowingly and wilfully violated evidence rules or in dubio pro reo.
Extracted holding
The factual findings were not arbitrary; the complainant’s impaired state and the defendant’s awareness of it were sufficiently established.
Extracted reasoning
The appellate court relied on the complainant’s consistent statements, corroborating witness and forensic evidence, and found the lower court’s assessment plausible and well reasoned.
