A former judge of a television talent show has appealed a jail sentence. The 62-year-old was found guilty of a serious offense against a woman. He was sentenced to 13 months in jail after being convicted of one count of a specific crime.
The appeal was made in a higher court, with the argument that the victim's accounts were fabricated. A senior counsel represented the appellant. The presiding judge has reserved judgment on the appeal, and a decision will be made at a later time.
