Appeal dismissed because first instance court failed to verify evidence despite available means.

The appellate court dismissed the appeal against the first-instance judgment, remanding the case for a retrial. The defense argued that the lower court erred in fact-finding by relying solely on the conflicting statements of two victims without further investigation. The appellate court agreed that the first instance judge failed to utilize available evidence, such as witness details and telephone records, to verify the claims, violating procedural requirements.
