Conviction upheld in child sexual assault case despite late disclosure of counseling record

The Supreme Court upholds the conviction of an individual for the sexual assault of a child, despite the late emergence of a counseling record that suggested multiple incidents of abuse. The Court determined that the record, which was not disclosed until after the trial, would not have materially influenced the jury's verdict. The Court emphasised the importance of victims' rights, including the right to privacy in counseling records, and clarified the legal standards for the disclosure and use of such records in sexual offense proceedings.
