Violent offender gets five years for raping woman (21) he met online
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Acquitted
Outcome: Acquitted; Counsel suggested the court treat Maymay as "someone who began a sexual act in a mistaken belief" that the act was consensual and sentence his client on the basis that he was reckless as to whether or not there was consent, rather than intentionally. He sentenced Maymay to six years' imprisonment but suspended the final year on strict conditions in order to incentivise rehabilitation.
