The accused was charged with one count of sexual assault following an incident in which the complainant alleged she was forced to perform fellatio on the accused while in his taxi.
The accused's defence was that the complainant had voluntarily offered to perform the act as payment for her cab fare.
The court rejected the accused's testimony as incredible and unbelievable, finding it inconsistent with reason and common sense.
Despite various credibility challenges to the complainant's evidence, the court found her testimony credible on the essential issue of lack of consent and convicted the accused of sexual assault.
