The defendant was charged with three offences against his wife: assault (July 1-31, 2008), assault causing bodily harm (August 18, 2008), and sexual assault (September-December 2008).
The trial was a credibility contest between the complainant and the defendant.
The complainant testified that the defendant assaulted her after discovering her long-standing extramarital affair, and later forced her to have non-consensual anal sex.
The defendant denied all allegations, claiming the complainant fell down stairs and that any sexual contact was consensual.
The court found the complainant credible and the defendant's evidence internally and externally inconsistent.
The defendant was convicted on all three counts.
