AGC Media Statement: Prosecution files a Notice of Appeal in the Criminal Case No. 41 of 2015

Having reviewed the written grounds of decision, the Prosecution has concluded that an appeal is merited against Senior Judge Kan’s finding that section 376A(1)(b) does not apply to female accused persons, as well as his decision not only to set aside the accused’s plea of guilt on these six charges but also to record an order of acquittal on all six charges; and finally, the sentence imposed on the remaining charge under section 7(a) of the Children and Young Persons Act. A Notice of Appeal has been filed accordingly.
