[2025] EWCA Crim 1196

When the complainant was aged 13, she developed tonsilitis. She asked her mother to help her in the bath and her mother asked the appellant to do so. The complainant was not keen on this idea and insisted that she could do it herself. The appellant persisted and the complainant gave in. When she got out the bath she became ill and passed out. When she came round she found the appellant penetrating her vagina with his finger. The appellant only stopped when the complainant's brother knocked on the door wanting to use the toilet. The complainant did not tell anyone what had happened and just took herself to bed.
