Three sexual offence charges against a 23-year-old man were dismissed by a master in the High Court (Criminal Division) on October 9. The accused reappeared before master Adia Mohammed for a sufficiency hearing.
At the hearing, the court was expected to receive a statement from a qualified professional assessing whether the alleged 12-year-old victim had the mental capacity to give a credible statement.
However, the master dismissed the case despite the State’s request for an extension of time to obtain the assessment.
