Prosecutor Tim Naik recounted the harrowing details of the case, describing how the victim, a Good Samaritan, found Dorney passed out in a taxi and selflessly tried to help him home. Her kindness led to a horrifying encounter, where Dorney turned from a grateful ‘man in need’ to a vicious predator. Naik highlighted that the woman’s instinct to assist him, rather than avoid him, ultimately resulted in her being assaulted.
Tim Naik emphasized the importance of the DNA evidence in the case: 'Forensic scientists found DNA evidence which supported the prosecution's case. It was not just a coincidence; DNA was found on the woman’s underwear, and the scientists stated it was a billion times more likely to belong to Dorney than anyone else. This forensic link was crucial to establish his guilt.'
Regarding Dorney's defense, he attempted to portray the situation as one where he was just a victim of an unwanted advance. However, the judge and jury, armed with the evidence presented, saw through his claims. The jury found him guilty of rape, sexual assault, and assault by penetration, showing a clear message that actions have consequences, even when public perception might be at stake.
