Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court's assessment of the child's credibility and the evidence was arbitrary and violated the presumption of innocence.
Decisão extraída
No. The contradictions highlighted by the appellant were secondary or not decisive, and the expert and psychologist's assessments supported the credibility of the child's account.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the presumption of innocence is violated only if serious and irreducible doubts should have remained. It further held that evidence assessment is arbitrary only if manifestly untenable in result. Here, two professional assessments found the child credible, and the appellant's criticisms were largely appellatory or concerned peripheral inconsistencies.
