My brother was convicted of rape of his 14 yr old daughter and served 4 yrs 8 months and came out of prison 2 yrs ago. Since then it has come to light that the daughter made it up.
At trial he pleaded guilty as stated he could not remember anything but must have done it as he could not believe daughter would make it up.Subsequently defense was weak and he had no representation as did not want it.
Since then it has transpired that she was tested postive for chlamidia but he tested negative whilst inside.The only evidence was her word and no physical evidence.
Can this go to appeal/squash conviction and clear his name as life is ruined
