The three young person appellants appealed their convictions for gang sexual assault and forcible confinement.
They argued the trial judge erred in his credibility findings and application of the W.(D.) analysis regarding their defence of honest but mistaken belief in consent.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeals, finding the trial judge properly applied the W.(D.) analysis, made supportable credibility findings, and reasonably concluded the complainant did not consent and the appellants did not have an honest belief in her consent.
