[2013] NICA 34

In the course of a trial for the indecent assault of a young girl, evidence of the complainant's demeanour had been admitted without it having been established that it was linked to the abuse she alleged. While the jury should have been clearly directed that that evidence did not confirm what she alleged, the absence of such a direction did not render the conviction unsafe.
