Key legal question
Whether the rape conviction was based on arbitrary fact-finding or an erroneous assessment of evidence
Extracted holding
The cantonal court could reasonably infer non-consensual intercourse from the circumstances; the challenge failed.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on the forced entry, power cut, concealment of knives, penetration while the victim slept, and the overall climate of terror. The alleged prior ambiguities in the relationship did not make the victim’s refusal unclear on the night in question.
