Lies of the Accused and the Lucas Direction R v Murray [2016] EWCA Crim 1051

摘要

The appellant (M), a security guard at a retail shopping centre, was convicted after trial of offences of rape, assault by penetration and sexual assault. The Crown's case was that M led the victim to a secluded area not covered by the centre's CCTV and there attacked her. His version of events, which at all times was a denial that any sexual activity had occurred, differed materially during his evidence from the account he had related to police during his interview.
