The Court substituted a verdict of indecent assault and imposed 4 years' imprisonment because the assault involved sustained and excessive violence (suffocation, plastic bag over head, removal of clothing and slapping of genitals) against a frail elderly victim, and the appellant's paranoid tendency and impulsivity constituted limited mitigation; the previously suspended 2‑week sentence was activated pursuant to s109C(1)(a) because it was not unjust to do so in light of the subsequent offence.
