The appellant appealed his convictions for sexual assault and administering a stupefying drug, as well as his 9-year sentence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding no errors in the trial judge's assessment of the circumstantial evidence or credibility, and noting that claims for a stay of proceedings based on delay and lost evidence were not properly advanced at trial.
The sentence appeal was allowed only to the extent of increasing the credit for pre-trial custody and release, reducing the net sentence to 7 years and 357 days.
