In R v PRO [2024] QChC 2, the defendant faced multiple charges, including three counts of sexual assault and three counts of rape, which were alleged to have occurred on 12 October 2022. During the trial, issues related to the credibility and reliability of the complainant's testimony were thoroughly examined. Key evidence included an interview under section 93A of the Evidence Act 1977 (Qld) and oral testimonies. The court found the complainant's testimony inconsistent and lacking in reliability, which raised reasonable doubts concerning the charges. Consequently, PRO was found not guilty on all counts of sexual assault and rape. The court's decision was based on the insufficiency of evidence to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
