Client defeats false sex abuse allegations by 6 year old

Our client’s 6 year old granddaughter had made sexual misconduct allegations against him spanning a two-week period on two separate occasions. There was evidence that the granddaughter stated she was told to tell lies about our client by her father’s partner. At trial the granddaughter claimed that her allegations were true and that her mother had put her under pressure to say she lied. The defence case at trial was that against a backdrop of inconsistency, animosity and ulterior agenda, the jury must entertain reasonable doubt about the truthfulness of the granddaughter’s allegations. Following three days of evidence the jury retired and returned with verdicts of not guilty on all charges.
