The conviction was upheld because the combined testimony of the victim and a second witness together with the CCTV footage provided sufficient evidence that the appellant's presence and conduct caused reasonable concern; the sentence was reduced because six months imprisonment was excessive for the offence as committed although a custodial, deterrent sentence was justified given prior sexual offending and the psychologist's assessment of high risk of reoffending; the appropriate sentence was held to be about two months and the appellant was to be released forthwith.
