Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the conviction was arbitrary and violated in dubio pro reo in light of witness A.'s statements
Decisione estratta
The witness statements were not decisive; the lower courts could reasonably view them as unreliable and no serious, unavoidable doubt remained.
Motivazione estratta
A. had only weak recollection and answered largely from feeling; the lower courts' view that she may have interpreted consensual sex as a 'confession' was not untenable. The Federal Court found no manifestly unreasonable evidentiary assessment.
