The appellant appealed his convictions for sexual assault, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching against a 14-year-old paperboy.
He argued the trial judge misapprehended evidence regarding a doorbell and a request for toilet paper, and failed to properly apply W.D. principles to evidence favourable to the defence.
The Summary Conviction Appeal Court dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge reasonably assessed the evidentiary conflicts and properly applied the burden of proof.
