The appellant, Adam Collier, appealed his conviction for child luring and child pornography offences, and sought leave to appeal his sentence.
The appeal focused on the trial judge's assessment of his credibility, specifically her reliance on omissions in his pre-trial statement to the police and his demeanor during the interview, in light of his Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's use of material inconsistencies, including omissions, for credibility assessment.
Leave to appeal sentence was granted, but the sentence appeal and a fresh evidence motion were also dismissed.
