Is this a wind up. The victim maintains that the accused hypnotised her to perform certain acts and they actually secured a conviction? Is hypnosis an exact science, then if not how is this evidence been admitted in court, seriously?

You are fully in control when under hypnosis and don't have to take on the therapist's suggestions if you don't want to. If necessary, you can bring yourself out of the hypnotic state.
Hypnosis doesn't work if you don't want to be hypnotised.

That would have been my understanding of the process.

Yes if you think logically for a second if it was real, I'd imagine the KGB and CIA would have plenty of uses for it.
