I'd suggest the information they plan to use is likely to be pretty significant if they're using it as the basis of the appeal. IIRC for an appeal to accepted the new evidence needs to be considerable.

If I've read the case correctly the crux of the matter is whether or not she was too drunk to consent. It looks as if his side are saying she was sober enough to walk in to the hotel unaided, and that the texts (if genuine) indicate she's in it for financial gain.

If an appeal court rejects all that then he's a convicted rapist, end of.
