Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Appeal Against Sentence

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the imposition of a life sentence was justified for attempted rape and assault occasioning actual bodily harm
  2. 2 Whether an extended determinate sentence would have sufficed instead of life imprisonment

Ratio Decidendi

Given the appellant's escalating pattern of violent sexual offending, the seriousness of the current offences, previous convictions, commission of offences while on licence, and the failure of previous extended sentences to reduce risk, the imposition of a life sentence was justified and required for public protection; no lesser sentence would suffice.
