Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the conviction violated the presumption of innocence / in dubio pro reo through arbitrary assessment of evidence.
Decisione estratta
No; the federal court found the complaint largely appellatory and held that the cantonal courts could rely on the victim's consistent and credible statements and corroborating circumstances.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant did not show that he was convicted because he failed to prove his innocence. The court held that the evidence assessment was not manifestly untenable, and that lack of physical traces or immediate gynecological examination did not make the conviction arbitrary.
