Inconsistencies between a complainant's evidence and that of a supporting eyewitness as to the degree of force used and the circumstances of undressing do not necessarily compel a reasonable doubt as to consent, particularly where the inconsistencies are explicable by the passage of time, consumption of intoxicants, differing perceptions, and the freshness of the complainant's contemporaneous account. A complainant's conduct between episodes of alleged sexual assault (such as showering and playing with items) does not necessarily undermine an account of non-consent, particularly where the complainant was young, vulnerable, and had consumed drugs and alcohol supplied by the much older accused.
