The judge did not err: the factual basis in the summary and his own observations supported treating the offences as a joint venture exploiting a mentally limited victim; counsel made no credible factual case challenging the judge's assessment of the victim's low intelligence and did not adduce evidence to make a Newton hearing necessary, therefore the sentences were appropriate and the applications to appeal were dismissed.
