interesting - similar act evidence was inadmissible [para 127]
[para 140] - the bottom line |
Interesting write up, never read something like that before. It's pretty hard to read that and not think the right decision was reached. It seems the judge's main problem was with witness reliability, but I would go so far as to say that probable consent was given in all three cases.
The fact that all three complainants claimed they wanted nothing to do with JG but then all tried to contact him is insane.
