Closing addresses have been made in the Newcastle District Court trial of SN, accused of child sex abuse. The trial involves a victim diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), which has complicated the proceedings due to the nature of her testimony.
Closing addresses have been delivered in the trial of SN, who has pleaded not guilty to 26 child sex abuse offences involving two of his children, one of whom has dissociative identity disorder (DID). The Newcastle jury has been presented with evidence from the alleged victim, LN, who was diagnosed with DID and testified over 10 days as herself and various alternative identities. Crown Prosecutor Kristy Mulley emphasized the complexity of DID but urged the jury to consider LN's testimony.
Defense Attorney Sundstrom questioned the reliability of LN's multiple personalities and suggested rejecting the evidence
