The accused, facing historical sexual abuse charges, brought an application to exclude a recorded telephone conversation between himself and the complainant.
The accused argued the recording was more prejudicial than probative.
The court found the recording had significant probative value, as the accused's failure to deny the allegations and his apology could be construed as an admission.
The court also found no moral or reasoning prejudice would result from its admission.
The application to exclude the evidence was dismissed.
