In the first trial, Charlotte secured a rape conviction where the complainant was a vulnerable 14 year old girl. The issue in the case was one of consent. Charlotte cross-examined forensically and meticulously the defendant, leading to key admissions that supported the Crown’s case.
In the second trial, Charlotte secured a conviction for assault by penetration. In this case the complainant was 13 years old at the time of the offence and the issue was again one of consent. The case required sensitive witness handling of both the complainant and her mother. Charlotte cross-examined strategically the defendant to present powerfully the inconsistencies in his account.
