The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by

2                 There was as well a great deal of cogent evidence that corroborated her testimony.

3                 In these circumstances, we agree with the reasons of the majority of the Alberta Court of Appeal that the verdict of the jury was not unreasonable.

4                 This appeal as of right is therefore dismissed.

Judgment accordingly.
