The accused, a 25-year-old resident of a women's shelter, was charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, and assault against a 14-year-old boy, and sexual assault and sexual interference against his 12-year-old sister.
The court found the child witnesses and shelter staff credible, despite minor inconsistencies, and applied the W.(D.) framework to assess reasonable doubt.
The accused was found guilty of the sexual offences against both children but acquitted of the simple assault charge due to vague evidence.
