The accused was charged with assault and sexual assault against his wife.
The complainant alleged multiple instances of physical abuse and non-consensual anal and vaginal sex.
The accused denied the physical assaults and testified that the sexual encounters were consensual or stopped immediately upon the complainant expressing pain or lack of consent.
The court found the complainant's evidence to be deeply flawed due to inconsistencies, minimization of her role in the toxic marriage, and delayed disclosure.
Conversely, the accused's evidence was credible and unshaken.
Applying the W.(D.) framework, the court was left with a reasonable doubt and acquitted the accused of all charges.
