Iacobucci J.

Iacobucci J. -- As we find no merit in the jurisdictional arguments raised by the respondent, the Court has jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
We are of the view that, in considering all the circumstances of this case, the trial judge made no error in his charge or in the admissibility of evidence, or in dealing with the issue regarding the emotional state of the complainant.
Accordingly, this appeal as of right is dismissed.
