The appellant appealed his convictions and sentence for historical child sexual abuse.
At trial, the defence called a psychiatrist to testify that the complainants' allegations were the result of false memory syndrome.
The trial judge accepted the expert's qualifications in psychiatry but ultimately found the complainants had a reliable core memory of the abuse.
On appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge erred in her treatment of the expert evidence and misapprehended evidence regarding his expressions of remorse.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's assessment of the expert evidence or the appellant's credibility.
The sentence appeal was also dismissed, with the court upholding the sentence of two years less a day.
