The appellant, a young person, appealed his conviction for sexual assault arising from an incident in a high school classroom.
He argued the trial judge erred in assessing witness credibility, resolving inconsistencies, and addressing potential collusion and animus.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judge's assessment of the evidence, noting that discrepancies in witness accounts were natural given their different vantage points and that the trial judge properly considered the complainant's age and the passage of time.
The appeal was dismissed.
