香港特別行政區訴鄧國熙
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC438/2012

The Court refused leave to appeal because the sentencing benchmarks and the aggregate sentence were not manifestly excessive given the clear and substantial aggravating factors (age gap, use of a knife and threats, force and resistance by victims, absence of safe sex measures, multiple offences, severe psychological impact and assessed risk of reoffending) and established appellate principle requiring deterrent sentences for sexual offences against children.
