The accused was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, sexual touching, counselling to touch, and incest involving his daughter over a period from 2005 to 2012.
The complainant was between 9 and 15 years old during the alleged offences.
The case involved testimony from the complainant, her mother, and her brother, with significant credibility issues arising from recantations and minimizations during trial testimony compared to original police statements.
The court found the accused guilty on all eight counts, relying primarily on the original videotaped police statements and the corroborating evidence of the witnesses, while rejecting the minimized trial testimony as influenced by family pressure and the complainant's desire to reunite the family unit.
