Sexual Abuse Investigation Dismissal Affirmation Based on Expert Credibility Assessment

The matter concerned an appeal against the dismissal of a criminal investigation for sexual abuse, where the conviction would primarily rely on the complainant's testimony, prompting the court to review the admissibility and weight of an expert psychological assessment regarding statement credibility. The court reasoned that while assessing credibility is primarily the court's duty, recourse to such expert reports is permissible in special circumstances, and after finding the expert methodology sound and applicable, the court upheld the assessment which concluded the statements were only "with insufficient probability credible" due to issues with the complainant's personality and suggestion susceptibility, thus affirming the investigative dismissal as no other basis for conviction existed.
