The appellant, a former teacher at a boarding school, appealed his convictions and three-year sentence for eight counts of historical indecent assault involving seven students.
He argued the trial judge erred regarding unreasonable delay, admission of similar fact evidence, application of reasonable doubt, and refusal to impose a conditional sentence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no errors in the trial judge's rulings on delay or similar fact evidence, deferring to the credibility findings, and upholding the three-year sentence as fit given the nature of the offences and lack of remorse.
