Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily assessed the evidence and established the facts regarding the alleged sexual acts.
Solution extraite
No. The Federal Court held that the cantonal court could rely on converging indicia, including consistent disclosures, corroborating medical findings, and contextual evidence.
Motifs extraits
The complaint was largely appellatory. The cantonal court’s credibility assessment was not insoutenable, since the victim had disclosed the abuse to several people, explained the late report plausibly, remained generally consistent on essential points, and medical and behavioral evidence supported her account.
