[2007] EWCA Crim 2605

It was inevitable that an eight-year-old rape victim had been reluctant to provide clear details of the sexual conduct she encountered and there could be no criticism of the defects in her evidence. The defects were not sufficient to mean that no jury properly directed could have relied on that evidence and safely convict.
