Bert Vasquez was convicted of attempted rape in 2018 for an incident that occurred between him and a 20 year old woman in January of 2011.
Vasquez appeal the conviction and acted as his own attorney in the process, going up against the Director of Public Prosecutions herself, Cheryl Lyn Vidal.
Today the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal and upheld his sentence. The court did find that his right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time was breached by the excessive delay in the hearing and decision of his appeal from the trial through the Court of Appeal.
