    CACC115/2025

    The Court held leave to appeal against sentence was refused because the sentencing judge correctly applied established principles for child indecent assault, properly identified and weighed serious aggravating features including a gross breach of trust and repeated digital penetration causing likely psychological harm, and the global sentence of 3 years and 6 months imprisonment was neither manifestly excessive nor wrong in principle.
