Although the offences were serious and repeated, the aggregate 3 year sentence was excessive given the defendant's guilty pleas and the limits of sentencing jurisdiction; the proper exercise of discretion required reducing the total effective sentence to 2 years and setting aside the costs order because there was no proper basis to impose significant prosecution costs on the defendant.
