In this country, the so-called cheerleader defense has worked out pretty well. Formed the core of several of the uncontested findings of fact in AFACT v iiNet, and has been used successfully by at least one defendant in a child abuse case who benefited from shoddy police work because the cops hadn't bothered to prove that he did what they said he did.
