This 5-day judge-alone criminal trial concerned charges against the accused, S.S., for sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, and making sexually explicit material available to his biological daughter, B, when she was between 5 and 8 years old.

The accused denied the allegations, claiming B fabricated them to spend more time with her mother, and that her knowledge of sexual acts came from accidentally observing him masturbating or viewing pornography on his phone.

The court found the complainant's testimony compelling, logical, and detailed, noting that piecemeal disclosure did not undermine her credibility.

The court disbelieved the accused's testimony, finding his explanations improbable and inconsistent.

S.S. was found guilty on all three counts.
