Key legal question
Whether the private complainant had standing under Art. 382 CPP to appeal the legal qualification and seek rape instead of a lesser sexual offence.
Extracted holding
Yes. A private complainant may appeal the conviction's culpability and may challenge the legal qualification, including to seek a more serious qualification.
Extracted reasoning
Standing to appeal culpability necessarily includes a legally protected interest in attacking the legal characterization of the offense, because the qualification affects the assessment of the harm suffered.
