- CACC187/2008
The sentence of 18 months was manifestly excessive because the applicant was a first-time offender who operated a commercial advertising website without evidence of control, coercion or exploitation of the prostitutes; given the factual distinctions from more serious pimping/vice-establishment cases, the appropriate sentence was a community service order and fine, and immediate release was ordered as the applicant had already served nine months.
