Mg v R

The case illustrates that differential verdicts on multiple counts of child sexual assault can be reconciled where there are identifiable differences in the quality of corroborative evidence supporting different counts, including objective evidence such as call charge records, admissions to third parties, and evidence from other complainants. An acquittal does not necessarily reflect rejection of the complainant's credibility; it may reflect a cautious approach to the standard of proof on particular counts where corroboration is lacking.
