Delivering judgement to the accused father, the judge declared that the evidence of the respective prosecution witnesses( including evidence presented by the accused's wife/mother of the children in question) were believable and truthful. She however stated that their evidence established the offence of sexual assault by penetration and not defilement. In the judge's words: "Upon careful review of the evidence before the court, the children did not say their father inserted his penis into their ‘bum bum’, they only said he touched their ‘bum bum’. I observed the three of them. They did not lie against their father, they did not say he used his penis, he only used his fingers. The children gave unshaken testimonies on how their father fiddled with their innocence multiple times by inserting his fingers into their v@ginas. The wife of the defendant, in her testimony, said the children complained of pain in their private and she was informed at the Mirabel Medical Centre that the children had been sexually assaulted.”
