Although the offence was serious, the unique factual matrix — completed sexual service, post‑service argument, provocation, absence of permanent injury, early guilty plea, first offender status, substantial compensation and stable employment — made immediate imprisonment not inevitable. On re‑consideration of all evidence and a social service report, the court allowed the appeal and substituted a community service order of 160 hours for the 4‑month custodial sentence as the appropriate disposal in all the circumstances.
