[2012] EWCA Crim 2034

The jury in the trial of a man charged with 18 sexual offences perpetrated against his step-daughter from when she was five years old until she was 25 were entitled, once they had found proved the charges relating to when she was a child, to find that her apparent consent when she was an adult was not real, given the abusive and controlling role her stepfather had established in her childhood.
