A man jailed for raping his girlfriend during a rave festival has failed to convince the high court to overturn his convictions.

According to the police officer, the tent was neat and tidy inside with no indication that anyone had been rolling around.

In his appeal, Phillip argued that the court that convicted him “wrongly interpreted the facts, specifically in not finding that it was ‘reasonably possibly true’ that the deceased’s vaginal and anal injuries could have been self-inflicted and not caused as a result of any rape”. He also argued that the court “wrongly rejected certain expert evidence regarding certain ‘other’ injuries to the deceased’s body and that the evidence pointed away from non-consensual sex and finally that the evidence of one of the state witnesses was not credible and fell to be discarded and rejected outright”.“We find that what is contended for by [Phillip] amounts to speculation and conjecture.
