Question juridique clé

Solution extraite
The evidence assessment was arbitrary in part; reasonable doubt remained as to the decisive violence element, so the rape conviction could not stand.
Motifs extraits
The appellate court accepted that sexual contact occurred, but found the lower court reasoned one-sidedly on violence, relied on speculation, and failed to distinguish the sexual act from the alleged coercion. The challenged factual findings violated in dubio pro reo.
